Medical test results are required to get an Alien Registration Card from the immigration office and to be registered as a teacher by the Board of Education.
You need to do the medical test as soon as you can after arriving to Korea. It is strongly recommended to finish it within a week of your arrival. The results will be mailed to the Pagoda Tower in Gangnam(Recruiting Department) and then delivered to your branch. Once you get it you can apply for your ARC card.
