Visa and cost of study

International students obtain a D-2 student visa (for degree programs) or D-4 (for language and preparatory courses). The process is generally transparent and well-established: a university invitation, proof of financial means, and a standard document package.

The cost of studying and living in Korea is notably lower than in most Western destinations, and the government's Global Korea Scholarship (GKS), along with university scholarships, regularly covers a significant share of costs for motivated applicants — from partial tuition to full coverage plus a monthly stipend.
