We require a deposit of 20% which must be paid before booking your procedure dates. This deposit will confirm your procedureโ€™s booking and lock in the price. If a deposit is not received, Shin Medical cannot guarantee your desired procedure date or price. The outstanding amount will be settled in South Korea, on the day your procedure is booked for.

For your deposit, you can either make a bank transfer, pay via credit card, or PayPal is also accepted.

For full payment, here are your available options to choose from:

Bank Transfers: All our affiliated clinics accept bank transfers. Be sure to send your international transfers ahead of time in case there is a delay, clinics will not go ahead with the procedure unless payment has been received in full.

Credit Card: Visa and Mastercard are accepted everywhere! AmEx and UnionPay are accepted at some clinics, but not all. It is very important that you inform your relevant bank in your home country that you will be using your card for large transactions. If you forgo notifying the bank, they might decline your payment, and in that case you will not be able to go ahead with the procedure on that day.

PayPalย is also accepted.

You will be responsible for all banking fees associated with transfers and payments using PayPal
