Overseas Koreans (재외동포) do not file it. Sangmyung ILCEC (국제언어문화교육원) students with alien registration (등록외국인) file half (deposits in their own Korean account only). Applicants changing status (for example D-4 to D-2) who are nationals of the two printed country lists file half.

Those lists, as printed: "장관고시국가" Ghana, Nigeria, Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Iran, Egypt, India, Indonesia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Thailand, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines (21).

And "중점관리국가" Guinea, Mali, Ethiopia, Uganda, Cameroon (5).

Changing to D-2 inside Korea: a Korean bank certificate in your own name for 16,000,000 won or more, issued within 30 days (foreign bank papers not accepted); fees 135,000 won (change 100,000 + card 35,000), at the Cheonan immigration branch.

Application fee 120,000 won, by remittance to the KB Kookmin Bank account printed in the guide (send the receipt) or paid at the team office. Refunded only in the cases the law lists. No waiver is printed.

NO ENTRANCE FEE is printed. Each bill also carries a 12,000 won student fee (학생경비). Tuition amounts are the 2026 rates and may change.

Dormitory, double room, a semester: on campus new hall (men and women) 1,197,000 won, old hall (women) 920,000, utilities and internet included, no meals; off campus Dongbo hall 400,000 plus a 200,000 deposit, utilities extra.

The guide recommends the dormitory for the first year. National Health Insurance is compulsory while you stay in Korea.

For the D-2 visa from abroad and for alien registration, the guide also asks for a TB certificate from a designated hospital with a chest X-ray result, issued within 3 months.

Filed an expected-graduation, completion or enrolment certificate? File the final graduation or completion certificate original within 1 week of the day it can be issued, and before entry, or the admission is cancelled.

Withdrawing after paying: full tuition refund before classes start, part after. A refused visa cancels the admission; tuition is refunded, the application fee is not.

Vietnam, as printed: education papers confirmed by the Korean consulate in Vietnam or by the Vietnamese mission in Korea are both accepted (choose one).
