VISA
Before student arrives in Korea: Apply for D-2-8 VISA
All foreign visiting students need to obtain a D-2-8 visa for their studies at Hanyang. Hanyang University provides a "Certificate of Admission" and "Business Certificate of Hanyang University" once your admission is confirmed. With these and any other required documents, make sure to complete your visa application at the Korean Embassy.
After student arrives in Korea: Apply for an Alien Registration Card with the proper VISA
D-2-8 visa is a single-entry visa and is valid only for 90 days after the student's arrival in Korea. Therefore, students should apply for an "Alien Registration Card (ARC)" to extend their stay and to allow themselves to travel outside Korea if needed.
Students cannot leave Korea until receiving their FRC. Leaving Korea without an FRC will result in cancellation of the visa and the visiting student program.
※ For students with dual citizenship — students with Korean heritage
If you hold Korean citizenship, you are required to enter Korea using a Korean passport. In this case, you do not need a student visa.
Please be aware that children born overseas to parents with Korean citizenship are automatically granted Korean citizenship, so you may have dual citizenship without realizing it. We strongly advise you to verify whether this is the case for you.
