1. If you have a C-3 Visa or a type of short-term visa instead of a D-2 Visa, you must change

your visa status within 30 days after arriving in Korea.

2. There are two types of visas: a single entry and a multiple entry visa. If you want to travel

abroad during your stay in Korea, we suggest you get a multiple entry type. The embassy or

a consulate will issue you a single entry visa if you do not specifically request otherwise.

Change of Stay Right

What is a Visa?

the school begins. And you must visit the local Immigration office to report your information every

time if you work or move to a new place. In this sense, we strongly advise you consult with

International Office or Immigration Counseling Center (Just call 1345)

regarding the leave, foreign students are advised to receive counseling from the Office of

International Affairs prior to the application.

Affairs (OIA) for undergraduate students

3. Once the admission letter is received, you can go to the Korean Embassy/Consulate nearest

you to apply for the Overseas Student Visa (D-2). After obtaining the said visa, you can enter

Korea and apply for a new alien registration card.

Back to School

If you file for a leave of absence from school, then you must leave the country within 30 days from

the first day when your application is approved. However, those who are confined to the hospital are

exempted from this. As for returning back to school, you have to send the important documents

relating to the issuance of your visa listed below to the admissions officer in at least one month

before classes start. Once the university acceptance letter is received from the admissions officer,

If you want to extend your visa, you must apply for permission before the period of your stay

expires. The Immigration Office will accept requests two months before the expiration date of your

need the following items:

Korea.

Re-entry Permits

stay in Korea, need to apply for a re-entry permit. If you are exempt from registration, but intend on

leaving Korea and entering again, you will also need to apply for a re-entry permit, as well. You may

apply for the re-entry permit at the Seoul Immigration Office or at the Immigration Office at the

Incheon International Airport.
