What Actually Happens When You Get Sick as a Foreign Teacher in Korea
- Confirm your NHI enrollment date with your director in week one — don't assume it's automatic from your start date.
- Keep your ARC and NHI card together in one place; clinics ask for both.
- Save the name of one international clinic near you before you need it, not after.
- A basic clinic visit is cheap and fast — don't wait out a cold for a week out of fear of the cost.
