Do you need a visa for South Korea?
While this may be the first time you apply for any student visa, we have climbed that mountain many times. Every year our team of visa specialists support each of our students studying abroad in South Korea to have the proper documents to enter the country. Let's get started!
A visa is a government-issued official authorization that grants entry into, and travels within, a particular country for an allotted time period. A student visa is required for a stay longer than 90 days and is mandatory for all IES Abroad semester and academic year programs in South Korea. It is your responsibility to obtain your student visa. For all students requiring a South Korean student visa, please note that the visa will be issued electronically.
