Scope & exceptions
For changes to the institution or required study records. A school transfer, a new degree level and a visa change are not always the same procedure.
This guide explains the official route and document categories. Your exact subcode, nationality and circumstances can add requirements or prevent an in-country application. Immigration decides the application.

Confirm the exact subtype and current notice with HiKorea / 1345; name both your current and requested status.
Check the receiving office, online availability, appointment, fee, originals/copies, translations and authentication before obtaining documents.
Submit through the official service. Keep the receipt, answer requests for more evidence and check the decision. A checklist tick is preparation, not approval.
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.
Checked the 261106 stay manual. Open the 체류민원 attachment and search your status/subcode and procedure. Later laws/notices and individual instructions take precedence.
