Sistemul medical

Recomandam tuturor cetatenilor romani care calatoresc in Republica Coreea sa incheie polite de asigurare medicala si de calatorie, pentru intreaga durata a deplasarii.

In Republica Coreea, unitatile spitalicesti sunt in general bine dotate cu aparatura de diagnostic si tratament, in marile aglomerari urbane (Seul, Busan, Daegu) exista disponibile facilitati medicale in sistem occidental, iar personalul medical este in masura sa poarte conversatii in limba engleza. Farmaciile sunt bogat aprovizionate iar medicamentele in marea majoritate se elibereaza cu prescriptie medicala.

Conditii privind traficul auto

Starea generala a drumurilor este buna. Traficul rutier se desfasoara conform standardelor romanesti, pe partea dreapta a drumurilor publice.

In zonele urbane exista artere de tip „expres”, nesemaforizate, care sunt exploatate in regim de autostrazi; circulatia pe aceste artere nu impune plata taxelor de drum. Folosirea autostrazilor inter-urbane si a marii majoritati a tunelelor, impune plata unor taxe, stabilite in functie de distanta parcursa si de gabaritul vehicolelor.

In zonele intens circulate, respectiv pe principalele autostrazi, panourile de dirijare a traficului sunt inscriptionate si in caractere latine; masura nu este valabila pe drumuri colaterale, in unele zone periferice si unele sectoare din provincie.

Este interzis traficul motocicletelor, motoretelor, motoscuterelor, bi – si tri –cicletelor (ne)motorizate, pe autostrazi, sosele interurbane si artere urbane de tip „expres”, cu exceptia celor aflate in dotarea politiei si autoritatilor militare.

Pe autostrazi, artere tip „expres” si soselele din extravilan, limita de viteza pentru autoturisme si alte vehicule usoare este de 100 km/h, iar pentru vehicule grele de 50 km/h. Sistemul de supraveghere radar este larg raspandit si sanctioneaza prompt depasirile limitelor de viteza.

Parcarea este in general permisa pe marginea dreapta a drumurilor publice. Exista insa spatii de parcare special amenajate unde se percep taxe. In practica, prioritatea se acorda foarte rar, atat participantilor la trafic cat si pietonilor aflati in mers.

Traversarea prin locuri marcate si nesemaforizate nu garanteaza evitarea unui posibil accident si de aceea se recomanda folosirea pasajelor semaforizate si a celor supra- si subterane, acolo unde acestea exista. Conducerea sub influenta alcoolului este strict interzisa.

Permisul de conducere

Conducerea unui autovehicul pe drumurile publice din Republica Coreea este permisa numai daca se detine un carnet de conducere eliberat de autoritatile sud-coreene. Permisul romanesc trebuie preschimbat cu unul sud-coreean de catre autoritatea competenta, in conditiile absolvirii unui test de aptitudini fizice, nefiind necesara sustinerea unui examen de cunostinte teoretice.

Informatii pentru cazurile de accident de circulatie

In majoritatea cazurilor in care se inregistreaza un accident de circulatie, soferul autovehiculului este cel care raspunde in fata organelor de politie sau de ancheta.

Din aceste considerente, este util pentru conducatorul auto purtarea in permanenta a unei camere foto pentru a putea proba, ulterior, circumstantele evenimentului rutier.

De regula, investigatiile politiei rutiere sunt de durata, existand posibilitatea retinerii pasaportului celui in cauza. in majoritatea cazurilor, amenzile si pedepsele sunt severe in eventualitatea unor accidente soldate cu vatamari corporale.

Utilizarea cartilor de credit

In Republica Coreea, cartea de credit reprezinta un instrument de plata larg raspandit si utilizat in majoritatea circumstantelor. Principalele companii emitente (Mastercard, American Express, VISA etc.) sunt acceptate. in general, toate instrumentele moderne de plata international acceptate sunt valabile in Coreea de Sud.

Reglementari vamale

Autoritatile sud-coreene au inasprit reglemetarile privind importul sau exportul unor obiecte precum arme, munitii, explozive, narcotice, echipamente radio, aur, carti sau alte materiale imprimate, video sau audio care ar putea fi considerate subversive, obscene sau care lezeaza interesul public si proprietatea culturala.

Urmatoarele produse trebuie declarate la sosirea in Republica Coreea: animale vii (pisici, caini, etc.), produse animale si preparate din carne (mezeluri, lactate, oua).
