Students planning to enrol in special short-term programs or only for 1 term should apply for the C-3 visa. For students who entered the country with a C-3 visa who wish to extend their study, should prepare the required documents and apply for an extension at the Korean Immigration Office to transfer to a D-4 visa status. *C-3 Documents ㅇSubmit to: Korean embassy or consulate office in your country of current residence ㅇDocuments: a copy of admissions letter, passport, 1 photo, other additional documents (varies depending on country) (2) Student Visa (D-4) For any study plans extending beyond three months, students should apply for a D-4 visa. The D-4 visa is valid for 6 months and can be extended for up to 18 months. Documents required (such as admissions letter, sponsorship letter, evidence of finances) should be submitted to a local Korean embassy or consulate office. As it normally takes a month or so to process a D-4, students will need to start the process at least 2 months prior to the start of their term.
