careful things when studying in Korea? Today, I will summarize some things to be aware of when studying in Korea.
careful things studying Korea
First of all, it is the most important and the most basic visa to study in Korea.A Korean study visa is a type of visa that allows foreign students to study in Korea.I apply for various types of study abroad visas depending on the various plans and situations of international students.
First, if an international student receives an admission notice from a Korean school and pays the tuition fee, the international student can request an admission notice and a school business registration card from the school.Submit visa application documents such as passports, applications, and documents provided by the school to the Korean Embassy where you are staying.
There are two types of study abroad visas.The first is a D-2 visa and a D-4 visa.
The D-2 visa applies to international students who have been attending college or graduate school for more than one year, and the D-4 visa applies to international students or exchange students who have been studying languages for less than one year.
You must arrive in Korea within the specified time after issuing a visa and comply with Korean laws.Pay attention to the expiration date of your visa and renew it on time.
When foreign students enter Korea, they are given a period of stay. If you enter the country as a study abroad (D-2) or general training (D-4), you can be granted up to two years at a time, and if you enter the country as a short-term visit (C-3), you can be granted up to 90 days at a time.
If a foreign student wants to continue to stay in Korea beyond his/her stay period, he/she must obtain permission to extend his/her stay before the expiration of his/her stay period.
The examination criteria for permission to extend the period of stay under the above shall be examined by the head of the office, the head of the office, or the head of the branch office to determine whether foreigners meet the following requirements.
Do you have a valid passport
Whether it is not subject to prohibition or rejection of entry under Article 11 of the Immigration Control Act
Whether it falls under the status of residence prescribed in attached Table 1, attached Table 1-2 and attached Table 1-3 of the Enforcement Decree of the Immigration Control Act
Whether it is recognized that he/she will return to his/her home country within the permitted period of stay for each of the relevant status of residence
In addition, whether it falls under the standards separately determined by the Minister of Justice for each status of residence in attached Table 1, attached Table 1-2 and attached Table 1-3 of the Enforcement Decree of the Immigration Control Act
※ If you do not extend your stay even though your stay has exceeded, you may be forced out of Korea, and you will be sentenced to up to three years in prison or a fine of up to 20 million won
Next is the insurance that we Korean students have to pay one by one regularly.This insurance is called the national health insurance.It is a social insurance system created by the government to guarantee the health and medical welfare of the people.The system was introduced in 1977.
The national health insurance is differentiated according to the income level of the subscriber.Low-income earners can enjoy relatively preferential premiums.
Residents with national health insurance can receive various services such as hospitalization, surgery, medicine, dentistry, and health checkups.And the NHS also provides medical services for special groups with chronic diseases.
However, the NHS provides basic health coverage, but when used in practice, patients still have to pay a portion of the medical expenses.
Next is the point!
According to the National Insurance Law of the Republic of Korea, all people who legally stay in Korea include international students.Everyone should be covered by the NHS.
Our international students have to sign up for the national health insurance if their visa, which is the period of stay in Korea, is more than 6 months.If you sign up for the National Health Insurance, our international students can receive the same medical coverage and welfare as local residents in Korea.
