I have accepted an offer to teach English in Seoul. Part of the many stipulations of the E-2 visa are that, upon the first 90 days of arriving, I have to complete a drug test/HIV test/and a chest X-ray.

Does anyone have any experience going through this? I get that after 90 days most stuff will be out of my system anyway (IF I were to have done anything, except AIDS) but I gather they test you pretty soon after landing, and 90 is just a deadline.

I am more or less wondering if it is a urine test, or hair? Urine will be fine, but hair can go back YEARS. Also, WTF is up with the chest x-ray? Can that detect drugs too or are they just looking for TB and other sicknesses? I would like to know if you have been through this and what it was like.

Thanks!
