What you pay

Official figures from the source page on the date checked. Estimates are Waegook's. Unknown is shown as not published, never as zero.

What do I need?

• Every group: application form and self-introduction (school forms); passport copy; final school graduation certificate and transcript; ID copies of the whole family; 3 passport photos taken within 6 months
• Every group: a health certificate on the consulate's form, with a tuberculosis test, as a copy or scan

• 베트남 (Vietnam), as printed: certificates after consular confirmation; birth certificate; residence proof (호구부); parents' employment and income certificates; a Korean study-deposit confirmation of USD 10,000
• Other nationalities: certificates with an apostille or consular confirmation; birth certificate; residence proof; parents' employment and income papers; you apply for the D-4 at the Korean embassy yourself (D-4-1 list: ask the office)
• Living in Korea (any nationality), as printed: final diploma (transfers from another school add its attendance record and transcript); alien registration card, front and back, with 3 months or more of stay left; photos; health certificate
• All papers within 30 days of the application date, in Korean or English (a notarised translation with the original otherwise), not returned; more papers may be asked

BANK BALANCE, as printed by nationality. 중국: "은행잔고증명서(원본) USD 9,000(인민폐 80,000 RMB) 6개월이상 예치유지", in the name of the father, the mother or the student.

베트남: "한국 유학경비 보증금 예치 확인서 USD 10,000". Other nationalities: "은행잔고증명서(원본) - 미화 10,000 USD (통장에 6개월 이상 잔액 유지)". Residents in Korea: no balance item is printed.

Pay to the school's IBK account (number given separately; SWIFT IBKOKRSE, beneficiary Shin Ansan University) in the student's own name and send the slip by fax or e-mail; transfer charges are yours.

The slip must show the date, amount and payer; write the payer's and the student's names (Korean or English). If someone else pays, send papers linking them to you with the slip.

Tuition figures: 1,300,000 won a term (5,200,000 won a year) on plan p.7; the cost table on p.13 bills 2,600,000 won (two terms at 1,300,000) before the visa, labelled "4 semesters (2026. 06. 15. ~ 2026. 11. 30.)". Same dated plan; ask the office.

Refund rules (p.12): a first-time D-4 student from China cannot cancel "처음 등록한 두 학기" (the first two terms registered); the remaining prepaid terms are refunded if you enter the degree course or go home.

Airport: bus 7000 to Ansan, about 100 minutes, 8,000 won (may change); group pick-up for 10 or more at cost.

DORMITORY: no dormitory fee is printed in the plan or anywhere on the school's sites.

From the official guide. The school decides what it accepts, not Waegook.

All requirements

• WHO: high school graduates or higher (final acceptance after review); holders of a D-4 study visa or an F residence visa (2026 plan). The plan says a D-4 is needed for the course
• 2026 TERMS (printed as 10 weeks, make-up week included): spring 16 March to 29 May; summer 22 June to 4 September; fall 12 October to 4 December (8 weeks as dated); winter 21 December 2026 to 5 March 2027. Dates may change
• NO APPLICATION WINDOWS or 2027 terms are printed, and no minimum number of terms as a rule (the cost table bills two). The plan gives the steps only: papers by post, review, result and invoice, tuition, visa paper, visa, entry, orientation
• Classes Monday to Friday, 20 hours a week, 200 hours a term, morning or afternoon class; levels 1 to 4, textbook Seoul National University Korean; culture classes and trips each term
• TUITION: "등록금 (1년) : 5,200,000원(학기당 1,300,000원 × 4학기)", adjusted each spring and re-billed if you prepaid. The plan's cost table (비용) bills new students 2,600,000 won of tuition, two terms at 1,300,000, before the visa
• That table labels the 2,600,000 won "4 semesters (2026. 06. 15. ~ 2026. 11. 30.)", dates that run from just before the summer term to just before the fall term ends: ask the office how many terms the payment buys before you send it
• Other costs in that table: application fee 50,000 won (non-refundable), culture programme 300,000 won, insurance 100,000 won for 1 year; printed total 3,050,000 won, paid before the visa. Off-campus culture trips may cost extra
• Steps by nationality (plan p.7): 중국, 몽골, 우즈베키스탄, 베트남 get a visa issuance number via Ansan immigration; others apply at the Korean consulate with the admission letter and tuition receipt; residents in Korea see the office first
• Plan p.7 puts a paper review and an interview before tuition for applicants abroad. After buying your flight, send the office your name, sex, flight number and departure and arrival times
• Promotion needs 70% attendance and a test score of 70 or more; under 70% attendance the visa extension is refused. Three late arrivals count as one absence. Tests 80% (mid-term and final), class work 20%
• Part-time work: from 6 months after entry, with TOPIK 2 or higher and 70% attendance, after immigration permission. Insurance up to 100,000 won a year; National Health Insurance later
• As printed, working without permission costs a 2,000,000 won fine the first time and removal from Korea the second time. Apply to extend your stay before it ends; a late application is fined
• Refund (plan): visa refused, 100% minus the application fee; own cancellation after the visa: 90% of tuition a week before opening, 80% within a week after, 50% within two weeks, nothing after
• A visa-refusal refund needs the consulate's confirmation that no visa was issued; charges are yours. Send the refund form, a bank book copy and your passport or alien card by visit or e-mail; it takes 1 to 2 weeks
• As printed: "중국 학생 중 D-4 비자를 처음으로 발급 받은 신규생일 경우, 처음 등록한 두 학기에 대해서는 취소 신청이 불가하다" (first-time D-4 students from China cannot cancel the first two registered terms)
• Trainee awards each term (plan p.9): best grades 200,000 won, good grades 100,000; perfect attendance 50,000; model student 100,000; special award 50,000
• Also (plan p.9): TOPIK 3 earned 300,000 won; TOPIK 2 200,000 won; an entry grant of 500,000 won for those who go on to a Shin Ansan degree. The same table on p.6 prints the model award as 50,000 won and the entry grant as 300,000 won
• Going on to a degree: the plan says TOPIK 2 or higher is needed to enter a Korean university. The Spring 2027 Korean-track degree guide asks this course's completers for a 10,000,000 won bank balance instead of 20,000,000
• DORMITORY: no fee is printed; the plan only says trainees who live in a dormitory must follow its rules
