Health Insurance
Requirements
Foreign exchange students are required to purchase overseas health
insurance before they arrive in South Korea. Be sure to check your
insurance policies carefully for coverage in South Korea. Make sure that
your insurance policies cover the entire period of your stay at Myongji
University – from the moment you step on the plane leaving for South
Korea to the moment you step back on the soil of your home country
after the end of your study. While at this point the official arrival dates
MYONGJI UNIVERSITY - EXCHANGE PARTNER INFORMATION
are not finalized yet, please make sure that your insurance period starts
from 2 march 2012 (or earlier, if you arrive in South Korea earlier) and
ends on the last date of February 2013 (if you will leave the country right
after your final exams) or the last date of July (August) 2012 (if you will
leave the country after spending some time personally in the country). In
any case, please make sure that your insurance period is long enough,
and there are no missing (uninsured) days. If extraordinary
circumstances prevent you from buying overseas insurance before
leaving your home country, you can purchase insurance after arriving at
Myongji University –during the orientation. But this is highly
unrecommended, as you will be uninsured from the moment you step
on the plane leaving for South Korea to the moment you actually pay for
insurance after arrival at Myongji University. During this short uninsured
period, anything can happen, and if you get sick and treated at a hospital
during this period, you will not be reimbursed for the money you pay for
this treatment even if you buy insurance later. Of course, even if you
purchased overseas insurance before leaving your home country, you
may purchase additional insurance after your arrival at Myongji
University – during the orientation.

designated by the OIA, to be picked up at the airport. You will be picked
up at Incheon International Airport by Myongji International Outreach
If you choose to live off campus, you do not have to arrive at the airport
on the dates designated by the OIA. Of course, if you need airport
pickup, you may apply for it. As you will not live in the dorm, you may
arrive in South Korea any time after you obtain a student visa. I suggest
that you arrive in the country as early as you can, so that you have more
time to look for housing off campus. You need to arrive in the country in
time to attend the mandatory orientation for new foreign exchange
students.
