Varicose Vein Treatment in Korea for Patients from Mongolia

Why do patients from Mongolia choose LEDAS in Busan?

Mongolia is one of the seven countries where LEDAS has remote consultation centers, so patients there can talk to a local center before deciding to travel. Many Mongolian patients come to Korea for specialist care, and Busan offers a calmer alternative to Seoul with a clinic that focuses only on vein disease.

• Contact close to home. A remote consultation center in Mongolia helps you understand LEDAS treatment, share your records and prepare your trip.
• Minimally invasive treatment. Local anesthesia only, no incision, and walking out the same day. Read about no-incision treatment .
• Accredited care. LEDAS is accredited by JCI (four consecutive cycles, 2015–2028) and by Korea's KAHF program for clinics serving foreign patients.
• Long-term follow-up through the relapse prevention program on later visits.

How do I travel from Mongolia to Busan?

Most patients fly from Ulaanbaatar. Depending on the season and which routes are operating, you may be able to fly directly to Busan's Gimhae International Airport , or fly to Seoul (Incheon) and continue to Busan by KTX high-speed train or a domestic flight. Flights between Mongolia and Korea are a few hours long. Check current schedules with airlines, especially in winter. See coming from Seoul by KTX .

A LEDAS driver can meet you at the airport or station and take you to your hotel. See airport pick-up .

Do Mongolian citizens need a visa?

Mongolian citizens generally need to check visa requirements for Korea carefully, and the rules for medical travel, including the C-3-3 medical visa, can change. Contact the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Ulaanbaatar for current requirements and processing times before you book flights. LEDAS can provide documents about your consultation and planned treatment. See medical visa (C-3-3) .

What about language support?

The LEDAS website is available in Mongolian, so you can read about treatment before you travel. During your visit, LEDAS coordinators interpret medically in English, Russian and Chinese; many Mongolian patients are comfortable in Russian. If you need Mongolian interpreting, ask early so the coordinator can arrange it. Medical statements are issued in Korean or English. See interpreter and language support .

Planning for winter and long-term follow-up

If you travel in the Mongolian winter, remember that Busan is much milder. Bring comfortable walking shoes: walking is an important part of recovery. After you return home, keep your medical statement for your local doctor and stay in touch with your coordinator. LEDAS recommends ultrasound every 1–2 years or whenever you visit Korea. See follow-up after you return home .

If you develop sudden swelling and pain in one leg, or chest pain or breathlessness, seek emergency care immediately (in Mongolia, call 103 for ambulance).
