Student Visa for South Korea

As soon as you have received a Certificate of Admission and Business Registration Certificate from your university abroad, you may submit your visa application online or in-person.

More information about this process will be made available in your MyIESabroad account once you are accepted to a program.

In the United States, you will apply through one of South Korea's consulates in Washington D.C., New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, Houston, Honolulu, Anchorage, or Dallas.

Each location serves a specific geographic region called a "jurisdiction." Please use the South Korean Consulate Contact Sheet to determine to which jurisdiction your state belongs. 

You can only apply for your visa within ninety days before your program starts.

Additionally, it takes up to four weeks for the consulate to process your visa.  

If you are a US citizen, a South Korean student visa costs 45 USD. 

Visa fees vary for other countries, so we strongly recommend that non-U.S. citizens reach out your nearest consulate to ask about the visa fee.
