Common questions
No. Admission is only the starting point. The school documents, financial proof, education history, passport records, translations, and consulate-specific requirements still need to support the D-2 filing.
Nationality and document origin can affect financial-proof expectations, academic-document authentication, translation needs, TB or health-related checks, and consular screening timelines.
Part-time work is not automatic. Students generally need to follow school and immigration permission rules, and unauthorized work can affect extensions, school transfers, or future status changes.
Compare work visa routes when the main goal is employment, when a Korean employer is already sponsoring the applicant, or when the study plan is mainly being used to reach a job route later.
