1. Determine the destination of travel The materials required for different travel purposes are completely different. Applicants need to prepare the corresponding materials according to the purpose of travel, otherwise the probability of refusal or later deportation will increase significantly. 2. Determining the Consular Jurisdiction
The South Korean Embassy has jurisdiction restrictions for applicants. Applicants need to submit visa application materials based on their household registration, place of residence, and passport issuance location. Additionally, applicants from different consular jurisdictions may have different requirements for the necessary documents. Only by understanding this in advance can one avoid visa refusal caused by jurisdictional errors.
3. Understanding the Documents and Fees When applying for a South Korean tourist visa, the embassy requires applicants to submit their documents to a designated agent. Only the agent is authorized to handle the application, and the embassy does not directly accept documents from applicants. Therefore, applicants must make sure to understand the agent's requirements for their documents, as different agents may have different requirements. 4. Prepare and submit the documents.
Although the documents need to be submitted to the designated agency, the applicant needs to prepare them during the process. The agency will only provide simple guidance to the applicant and will not prepare the documents on behalf of the applicant. After the application is prepared, the documents can be mailed or personally submitted, and then the applicant needs to wait for the review and final visa issuance.
5. Waiting for review and passport collection The review time for Korean visas is generally 8-10 working days. The applicant needs to patiently wait because the Korean visa is a sticker visa, so the passport needs to be collected after the visa is issued in order to use it. After the visa is issued, the applicant can personally collect it from the embassy or wait for the agency to mail it, but in the case of mailing, it is necessary to wait for the delivery time.
9. How many years is the Korean study system for studying abroad in Korea? 1. Language Institute The language institute is a place to study Korean. Most schools have 4 semesters in a year, with each semester lasting 3 months. The exception is Sungkyunkwan University, which has 6 semesters in a year, with each semester lasting 2 months.
The duration of studying at the language institute depends on your Korean language foundation and ability. Generally, the pace at the language institute is to study one level per semester. Completing all 4 semesters in a year would reach level 4. Additionally, there is a placement test before the first semester starts, where students with a foundation in Korean can take the test and be placed into different level classes based on their test results.
2. Undergraduate Most undergraduate programs have a duration of 4 years and are mainly credit-based. It is possible to finish the undergraduate courses earlier by completing all the required credits in advance, but it is not possible to obtain the graduation certificate earlier. If a student fails a course or has insufficient credits due to absenteeism, it will result in a delayed graduation.
The architecture major is somewhat unique, typically requiring 5 years of study. Therefore, students who choose architecture as their major usually need to study for an additional year compared to other students. 3. Master's Degree A master's degree is usually a 2-year program. Upon completion of the required credits, passing the graduation exam, and successfully defending the thesis, one can graduate successfully. However, due to different progress in completing the thesis, many students may experience delayed graduation for not completing the thesis on time. There are also some schools and majors that have a 2.5-year program, such as the Cultural and Arts Management program at Qingxi Business School, where an additional half year of credits can replace the thesis.
4. Doctorate A Doctorate degree is usually a 2-year program. It has the same requirements as a Master's degree, including completing credits, passing final exams, and defending a thesis in order to graduate. The completion of the thesis may sometimes cause a delay in graduation. If all the required credits have been completed but the thesis is not yet finished, the student can request an extension without having to pay additional tuition fees. They only need to regularly seek guidance from their professor and make necessary modifications to their thesis.
Education System The education system in South Korea follows a 6-3-3-4-2-4 structure. It consists of 6 years of elementary school, 3 years of middle school, 3 years of high school, 4 years of university, 2 years of graduate school, and 4 years of doctoral programs. In terms of majors at universities, humanities, science and engineering, social sciences, business, education, and arts and physical education programs are typically 4 years long. Architecture majors usually require 5 years of study, while medical programs typically take 6 years.
Higher education institutions in South Korea are divided into three types of management systems: national, public, and private. However, the majority of universities in South Korea are private institutions. There are a total of 10 national universities, 40 public universities, and over 300 private universities in South Korea. Whether they are national, public, or private universities, their diplomas are recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Education.
10. Guide to adapting to life as a Korean international student 1. Language communication issues Firstly, it is important to be mentally prepared that most of the education in Korean universities is conducted in Korean. Language teachers in language institutes may progress at a slower pace, but as we enter the undergraduate and graduate stages, we will encounter many technical terms during our studies. Therefore, during the Korean language learning stage, we should pay attention to accumulating knowledge in this area and be prepared to face the challenge of language proficiency, in order to adapt more quickly.
2. Emphasize the importance of garbage sorting. In South Korea, apart from having garbage bins near large public facilities, there is also a particular way of using garbage bags. Different colored garbage bags represent different types of household waste. If we fail to sort our garbage in a timely manner, we may face certain penalties. Therefore, I hope that students will learn about garbage sorting, purchase garbage bags from supermarkets on time, and effectively sort our garbage. Through this process, we can better adapt to student life in South Korea.
3. Experience Unique Activities In South Korea, every university organizes an MT (Membership Training) activity for new students in the first few weeks after enrollment. International students, local Korean students, and some professors participate together to experience life. However, there is no fixed pattern for these MT activities. Sometimes, it involves cooking Korean cuisine together, and other times, various games are organized to foster camaraderie and make new friends. Through this process, not only can we improve our language abilities but also develop our team spirit, laying a solid foundation for our future participation in various presentations and activities during our studies. Participation in MT activities is voluntary, and generally, we are required to pay a fee ranging from a few tens of thousands of Korean won. It is recommended that students participate as much as possible as it is very helpful in adapting to the life of studying in South Korea.
4. South Korean lifestyle habits In order to quickly adapt to student life in South Korea, we must adjust to the lifestyle habits of South Koreans. South Koreans have a preference for mild flavors and have small appetites. Although they often eat fried chicken, grilled meat, and other foods during gatherings, they do not typically like greasy foods in their daily lives. Cooking in South Korea mainly involves mixing and stewing, and there is no concept of "stir-frying." While ensuring the nutritional value of the ingredients, Koreans add some auxiliary ingredients, which many Chinese students may not be accustomed to. They may choose to dine at Chinese restaurants near their schools, despite the higher prices, in order to experience the taste of "home" in a foreign country, which can be seen as a form of comfort. South Korea is a country that places great importance on etiquette. When meeting a teacher or senior in South Korea, it is not only necessary to greet them but also to bow. For people you do not know or for school seniors, professors, elderly individuals, etc., honorific language should be used. If you are not aware of this, using casual language may lead to embarrassment. Therefore, when studying Korean, it is also important to pay attention to learning honorific language.
