Health Check - Free or Fee?

Submitted by on

I'm with the EPIK program and I was told that I had to go to one of two designated hospitals for my check. Paid 100,000 for mine at Haeundae Hospital. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. 

Here's the thing. My wife almost had to pay for hers too, but she had her coworker talk to them and inform the nurse at the hospital that it should be free for foreigners who are part of the National Medical Insurance program.

 

Anyone else get a freebie? How much did you pay?

(USA) 1040 filing (or lack thereof) and criminal background checks...

Submitted by on

Now, I have lived abroad for quite some time and never earned enough to qualify for paying the US's ridiculous tax when not living there but I know that it has been the case for a while that even if you earn nothing you still have to send in a 1040 file, (there was a time I was earning next to nothing). I know I have to go through the FBI to get a crimimal background check and I was wondering if this lack of 1040 filing makes me 'criminal' or if it would come up at all? I am actually more than a bit worried about this so any advice would be appreciated here on this matter.

NZ teacher hosptialized, needs transplant

Submitted by on

We want to get the word out about a NZ teacher hospitalized in Busan. He has a rare blood type, 0 negative, and needs a liver transplant to survive. His family cannot afford the 40 to 50 million won estimated cost of the operation. Native Speaking English Teachers here in Miryang, SK, along with many Korean friends are trying to raise the necessary funds. His brother arrived last night from NZ and is a potential donor.   He is going to the hospital this morning to speak with the doctors and be tested for donor suitability.

Getting an E-2 Visa outside of home country

Submitted by on

Hey guys! I have a quick question that needs a firm answer. I am currently living in Australia, but I am an American citizen. I have never worked in Korea before. Do I need to go back to the United States to get an E-2 visa or can I stay in Australia and get it in Sydney? I keep getting inconsistent answers on this. Thanks so much. 

Internships at Korean Universities?

Submitted by on

Hello,

I'm looking for advice on pursuing an internship at a Korean University in the summer of 2012. I am currently working on a Master's Degree in College Student Affairs Administration (put simply, advising services for college students such as admissions, student activities, study abroad, housing, etc.).

I'm not sure where to start. Is there anyone on Koreabridge who might have some suggestions on who to contact?

I am a native English speaker.

I have a Bachelor's Degree and am working on a Master's Degree.

I have one year of Korean language classes.
