You can also receive a tax refund for medical aesthetic procedures in South Korea (dermatology, plastic surgery, etc.).

Published 2024.09.24

For those visiting Korea, if you've booked an appointment at a Korean hospital, remember to bring your passport! Korean medical aesthetic clinics also offer airport tax refunds. The hospital's consumption tax is 10%, and you can receive a 7-8% refund at the airport. If the total amount is substantial, the refund will be significant. Some hospitals have machines that provide cash refunds, while most require you to take your tax refund form to the airport machine.

Friendly reminder: Arrive at the airport a little early and go to get your tax refund after checking in!
