  • Visa Application via Certificate of Visa Issuance

    Applying for a visa using the Certificate of Visa Issuance allows for a simplified and expedited process. This method minimizes the required documents for students and speeds up the visa issuance process.

      • The international student coordinator at the admitting university (Although students can apply directly, it is usually handled collectively by the coordinator.)

      • The student or the university's international student coordinator submits the application in person at the immigration office or foreigner service center with jurisdiction over the university's location. (For branch campuses, the application must be submitted to the office covering the branch's location.)

        • Can be omitted if pre-registered in the Korean Student Information System (FIMS). For government-invited scholarship students, the invitation letter from NIIED suffices.

        • Original documents preferred; if copies are submitted, they must be certified as true copies by the relevant official.
