 Foreign Students |
|
| In order to study in Korea for more than 90 days, you need to apply for a D-2 student visa. A student visa can be obtained at Korean consulates, usually overnight. It can be extended here in Seoul without having to leave Korea. |
|
To apply for a student visa (D-2), you will need the following items:
1) Completed visa application form (available at http://www.hikorea.go.kr)
2) Valid passport
3) Certificate of admission (acceptance letter from Yonsei University)
4) Bank statement (or scholarship certificate) |
If you are a non-exchange student:
a minimum of 8,000 USD for one semester during the last one month, or
a minimum of 17,000 USD for two semesters during the last one month.
If you are an exchange student:
a minimum of 3,600 USD for one semester during the last one month, or
a minimum of 8,500 USD for two semesters during the last one month. |
|
5) Two passport-size photographs (3.5cm X 4.5cm)
6) Visa Processing Fee (Single Entry: 30 USD, Multiple Entry: 50 USD) |
|
Note 1: If you already received a C-3 visa (short-term permission for general purpose) instead of a D-2 visa, you must change your visa status within 30 days after arrival.
Note 2: There are two types of visas; one is single entry, the other is multiple entry. If you want to travel abroad during your exchange program at Yonsei, we recommend a multiple entry type of D-2 visa. The embassy or consulate will issue you a single entry visa if you do not specifically request a multiple entry visa.
Note 3: If you want to study the Korean language (www.yskli.com), you should apply for the D-4 visa.
