Korea Student Visa

Korean student visa

All degree-seeking international students must obtain a student visa (D-2) before the beginning of the semester at Korea University.
Other types of visa that permit international students to be enrolled in a degree-seeking program at a university in Korea (ex. F-type, E-type, A-type, etc.) are acceptable as well.
However, short-term visas such as B-type or C-type visas are not acceptable as these visas do not allow foreigners to take academic programs at a university in Korea. Student visa (D-2) can be acquired at a Korean embassy or consulate in the applicant’s home country.
