What do I need?
- Application form with self-introduction and personal data consent
- Passport copy, valid 6 months or more
- Bank balance certificate of 8,000,000 won or more, in your or a parent's name (see the notes)
- Final diploma: an apostille where apostilles are issued (몽골, 우즈베키스탄 등, as printed); elsewhere (베트남, 미얀마, 인도네시아 등) a consular confirmation from the Korean consulate
- China: only a CHSI or CDGDC certificate for general high school and above; vocational schools: the apostille routes the guide prints
- Final transcript with a notarised Korean or English translation (original)
- Nationality and family papers: passport or ID with a notarised translation, and a notarised family relation certificate showing you and your parents (China: 친족관계증명서)
- Financial papers: a parent's employment certificate with income, years of work, workplace contact and address; for the self-employed, a business registration and proof of property
- TOPIK report, if you have one
THE BANK BALANCE IS 8,000,000 WON OR MORE, in your own or a parent's name, issued within 1 month of filing (a printed validity counts until that date). An undated school page says over 10,000 USD; the dated guide governs.
Two named-country rules, as printed: 베트남: 한국 유학 경비 보증금 예치 증명서 원본 제출. 우즈벡: 현지 소재 국내 금융기관 발행 잔고증명서(3개월 유지).
NO APPLICATION FEE IS PRINTED in the guide, the notice or the course pages.
Before you travel, buy a student health insurance covering at least 4 weeks: joining student insurance can take 4 weeks or more (guide p.8).
Textbooks are extra, about 50,000 won. National Health Insurance is compulsory from 6 months after entry. Fees are paid in the applicant's name; if someone else pays, e-mail a copy of the receipt. Remittance charges are yours.
The guide's dormitory page prints "2,20,000원 내외" (meals included), a misprint beside the fee table's 2,200,000 won; 1,000,000 won without meals. On campus, apartment type, 2 to a room.
From the official guide. The school decides what it accepts, not Waegook.
All requirements
- High school graduation or an equal level of schooling
- Two semesters a year, 20 weeks and 400 hours each, Monday to Friday, 4 hours a day: Korean (with Korean culture) and culture activities. Classes of about 20 students, in beginner, intermediate and advanced groups
- A completion certificate needs 80% attendance and an overall mark of 60 or more. The school is a TOPIK test centre and runs the test six times a year
- Apply by post or in person with the originals. Interview within 2 weeks of applying (local, phone or video, if needed); result by e-mail within 1 week of the interview
- Pay tuition (with insurance) within 2 weeks of the result; visa papers follow within 2 weeks of payment. Enter Korea within 1 week of the start date
- PAY A YEAR UP FRONT: the Korean guide says tuition AND the dormitory are paid for 1 year (the English guide says a year of tuition and one semester of dormitory; the Korean governs)
- Trainees live in the school dormitory (all of them in the first semester); only those whose direct family (not grandparents) lives in the Yeosu immigration office area may live off campus
- Refunds: before classes (a refused visa, for example) everything paid; after the start, before 1/3 of the hours two thirds of tuition, before 1/2 half, after that nothing
- Top marks in each class are paid 500,000, 300,000 or 200,000 won (1st, 2nd and 3rd). Completers who enter the school's undergraduate degree get a first-semester tuition award (see the scholarship)
- NO 2027 TERMS OR FEES: the Fall 2026 guide is the newest (posted 13 May 2026); every fee here is from it, and it prints no class start or end date. Spring 2027 is not posted (21 October 2026)
- Timing hint only: the Spring 2026 window was 3 November to 19 December 2025, with an additional window 5 January to 13 February 2026. These are not 2027 dates
