Scope & exceptions

For registered D-2 degree students already in Korea, including a separate thesis-preparation path. Exchange, research-only, leave of absence and a new degree level need individual confirmation.

Gov24 gives the baseline; university notices add academic and financial conditions. Confirm the full list with your own international office before applying.

Supporting evidence

This is a document category, not one certificate. Use the housing selector below to see the usual evidence to ask for.

Check that the address matches your current residence. Confirm the accepted evidence and attachments with your school or immigration.

Select the arrangement to see which evidence to request. Immigration decides what it accepts.

Ask for your current lease (임대차계약서). Check the address and tenancy period.

Request 기숙사 거주확인서 (dormitory residence confirmation) from the dormitory office.

Ask for 거주/숙소제공 확인서 (accommodation confirmation). Depending on the arrangement, the provider’s ID, lease/ownership or business evidence may also be needed. Confirm the attachments.

From
Your bank or scholarship office
How to get it
Ask your school which evidence applies: scholarship/support certificate or a bank-issued balance certificate. Get a certificate from the issuer, not a blank template.

Amounts, account ownership, issue-date limits and exemptions vary. Do not apply another university’s threshold to your case.

How to get it
If you are beyond the standard study period, ask your office for its required plan and explanation templates. Completing all other boxes does not settle this assessment.

Before you submit

  1. Apply before your stay expires. A visit booking only reserves a slot.
  2. Check HiKorea for online submission or a visit. Confirm fees, originals/copies, certificate age and any additional evidence.
  3. Ask 1345 about special cases. Keep your receipt and check the decision.

Official sources, review date & coverage

Checked against the linked official sources on the date above, including HiKorea’s 6 November 2026 manual. A family-level route is not every subtype’s final checklist. Penalties shown are legal maxima for the stated violation, not predicted charges. Official notices and individual immigration instructions take precedence.
