VISA
• Before student arrives in Korea: Apply for D-2-8 VISA
All foreign visiting students need to obtain D-2-8 visa for their studies at Hanyang. Hanyang University provides "Certificate of Admission" and "Business Certificate of Hanyang University" when your admission to Hanyang is confirmed. And with other documents you may be required for your application of a D-2-8 visa, make sure to complete visa application at 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 it will be valid only for 90 days after student’s arrival in Korea. Therefore, students should apply for an "Alien Registration Card (ARC)" to extend their stay to complete the program and to allow themselves to travel to other countries if needed.
Students cannot leave Korea until receiving FRC. Leaving Korea without 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.
