●■●● University Admission Process (University Admission & Language Training Guide)
⬤⬤🟧 Entering University Without Language Training (D-2 Visa)
⬤✅ If your Korean proficiency is sufficient (usually TOPIK Level 3–4 or higher), you may apply to a university without attending a language training program.
Some English-track programs accept applicants based solely on TOEFL or IELTS scores.
⬤✅ The admission process follows these steps:
Choosing a school and major → Submitting required documents (graduation certificate, academic transcript, notarization/Apostille, financial statement, etc.) → University screening and acceptance → Issuance of the Standard Admission Letter → Applying for the D-2 visa
⬤✅ Korean universities accept students twice a year—March (Spring Semester) and September (Fall Semester).
Generally, preparing 3–6 months in advance is sufficient for a smooth admission process.
However, students from certain countries may need 6–9 months or more due to complex administrative requirements.
●●🟧 Why is language training necessary?
●✅ More than just studying Korean
▶ Korean universities offer a large number of courses taught in Korean and require TOPIK scores for admission.
▶ Instead of preparing only for the exam in your home country, studying Korean in Korea allows you to prepare for TOPIK while also adapting to real-life Korean environments—making the learning process far more effective.
📌 Conclusion: Language training shortens the overall document preparation period and makes adjusting to life in Korea much easier.
It also gives students the flexibility to return home if they find that Korean universities are not a suitable match.
Because the visa process becomes smoother, language training is one of the safest and most reliable starting points for studying in Korea.
●✅ Language training is a globally recognized pathway
▶ It is not a system unique to Korea.
▶ English-speaking countries such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia all offer ESL programs for international students.
▶ Many students complete language training before entering university.
▶ Korean language programs follow the same international standards as other countries’ language study courses.
●✅ Opportunities even for students with limited time or budget
▶ Students who feel overwhelmed by the idea of entering university immediately can study Korean at a relatively low cost while experiencing Korean culture firsthand.
▶ Students can freely choose the duration—6 months, 1 year, or 2 years—depending on personal circumstances.
▶ Because most classes take place in the morning, students have the afternoon free for additional courses or personal activities.
●✅ Academic + lifestyle + network preparation
▶ Students can improve their Korean language ability and quickly adapt to dormitory life, public transportation, banking, mobile phones, and other aspects of daily living.
▶ Interacting with classmates from various countries helps students build a strong global network.
📌 Summary: Students who complete language training generally achieve higher success rates in visa approval, university admission, academic performance, adaptation to Korean life, and scholarship awards.
Students with language training experience also tend to be accepted into better-ranked universities.⬤⬤🟧 Guide to the Language Training Program
▶ Korean universities operate on March and September semesters, but language training programs follow a four-semester schedule throughout the year.
●✅ March Semester
▶ This marks the beginning of the regular Spring semester at Korean universities.
▶ Preparing between October and December allows for stable enrollment.
●✅ June Semester
▶ Only a limited number of schools open for the summer semester.
▶ The safest time to apply is between February and March.
●✅ September Semester

▶ Applying early between August and September is the most reliable option.
●●🟧 Types of Language Training Classes
●✅ Tuition and dormitory fees
▶ For university-affiliated language institutes, one semester (about 10 weeks) typically costs 1.3–1.7 million KRW.
▶ Annual tuition generally ranges from 5–7 million KRW.
▶ University dormitories cost around 400,000–600,000 KRW per month for a single room and 250,000–400,000 KRW for a double room.
▶ Costs in the Seoul metropolitan area are higher than in other regions, and fees may vary depending on whether meals are included.
📌 The D-4-1 Korean Language Training Visa is typically issued for an initial six-month period.
After that, you may apply for extensions in six-month increments, subject to immigration review and approval.
In general, the total period of stay is up to two years.
▶ When applying for the visa, applicants usually need to pay tuition in advance, typically based on two terms (about six months of study).

▶ Morning classes run from 09:00–12:50 (50 minutes × 4 periods), while afternoon classes typically run from 13:00–16:50, depending on the school.
▶ The standard program provides four hours of class per day, while short-term programs may offer three-hour classes.

●✅ Level-based courses
▶ Courses are divided into beginner → intermediate → advanced levels, and students are placed according to their proficiency.
▶ Some institutions also offer specialized programs such as TOPIK preparation classes and business Korean courses.
●●🟧 Scholarship Guide
●✅ Korea offers relatively more scholarship opportunities for international students than the United States or Europe.
→ The government, universities, and private foundations operate various scholarship programs specifically designed to attract international students.
●✅ There are no scholarships available during the D-4 language training visa stage.
→ Because this stage focuses solely on Korean language study, students must cover all tuition and living expenses themselves.
●✅ Receiving a full scholarship before admission is extremely difficult.
→ The best-known full scholarship is the Korean Government Scholarship GKS (Global Korea Scholarship).
→ GKS has a limited number of slots, many of which are allocated to students from Africa, South America, and parts of Asia.
→ Official nomination from the applicant’s home government is required, and the competition is extremely high—making it realistically unattainable for most general applicants.
●✅ The most common and realistic scholarship option is the academic performance scholarship offered after admission.
→ Students with strong grades can receive a 30–100% tuition reduction.
→ Additional scholarship opportunities may be available for high TOPIK scores or strong English proficiency.
📌 Summary
→ There are no scholarships during the language training period.
→ Full scholarships before admission require special qualifications and government recommendations.
→ For most international students, aiming for an academic scholarship after entering university is the most realistic and reliable approach.●■●● Why adults in their 30s–60s should study in Korea

For many, building a new life in Korea—even after retirement—can be an attractive and meaningful choice.
●●🟧 The world-class Korean academy (hagwon) system

●●🟧 What adults in their 30s–60s must know about obtaining a Korean visa
▶ Korean visas are generally less strict than those of the United States,
but they are more regulated than most European countries, particularly in terms of the purpose of stay and activity scope.
→ This visa is for short-term technical training and is usually issued in 6-month increments.
→ The total stay is generally limited to 1–2 years.
→ If your Korean language proficiency is insufficient,
you may find it difficult to follow the technical training, which carries a risk of failure.
→ This visa does not directly lead to a work visa or long-term settlement.
▶ D-4-1 Korean Language Training Visa
→ This visa is for studying Korean at university-affiliated language institutes.
→ It is initially issued for 6 months, and after an immigration review, it can be extended for up to 2 years.
→ The D-4-1 visa is for extension and evaluation purposes, and it does not automatically transition to a work or start-up visa.
▶ Common Restrictions of D-4 Series Visas
→ During the first 6 months after entry,
part-time work and health insurance enrollment are restricted.
→ After 6 months, part-time work is allowed, but you must obtain school recommendation and immigration approval
and you can only work within limited conditions.
📌 Important Reality Check
▶ D-4-1 and D-4-6 visas are for preparation, experience, and evaluation purposes.
▶ If your goal is to long-term reside, work, or start a business in Korea, graduating from an accredited Korean two-year or higher degree program (including junior colleges) is essential.
●●🟧 How to use dormitories and find housing
▶ Dormitory information
Most Korean universities operate dormitories exclusively for international students.
→ D-4-1 visa holders are eligible for university dormitories.
→ Dormitory life is convenient for students in their 20s, but adults in their 30s–60s may feel uncomfortable with shared facilities such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and shower rooms.
▶ One-room / boarding house / officetel living
→ Beyond dormitories, students can choose one-room apartments, boarding houses, or officetels.
→ Seoul is convenient and popular among international students, but rent is relatively high (700,000–1,500,000 KRW per month).
→ Larger cities 1–2 hours from Seoul (Incheon, Cheonan, Wonju, Cheongju, Jeonju, Daejeon) or 3 hours away (Busan, Gwangju, Gangneung) offer more affordable options (500,000–1,000,000 KRW per month).
▶ How to find a house
→ Most students find housing through licensed real estate agents, and brokerage fees may apply.
→ Many agencies specialize in assisting foreigners.
→ Korea generally uses a deposit + monthly rent system, with tenants choosing between jeonse (lump-sum lease) or monthly rent.
→ University districts (Hongdae, Sinchon, Gangnam, etc.) are especially convenient due to their high number of international students.
💊 BridgePlan Korea provides a separate housing support program

→ Even for a short time, living in Korea will help you quickly gain insights and practical skills needed in the global market.
●●🟧 Preparation period and entry timeline after applying for BP Korea services
●✅ Basic required timeframe
▶ If all documents and financial requirements are properly prepared, students can generally enter Korea within 3–6 months.
→ This timeframe includes passport issuance, academic document notarization/Apostille, bank balance verification, visa application, and visa screening.
📌 Passport application is the first essential step
Passport processing times vary significantly by country—from 15 days to as long as 2 months—so students without a passport must begin with the passport application process.
▶ If you already have a passport, make sure it has at least one year of validity remaining.
→ Many students experience delays due to insufficient passport validity, so checking this early is crucial.
●✅ Differences in preparation time by country
▶ Developed countries (United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, etc.)
→ Administrative procedures are straightforward, and bank requirements are relatively flexible.
→ Preparing 3–4 months in advance is usually sufficient.
▶ Southeast Asian countries (Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, etc.)
→ Academic document notarization and embassy verification are more complex, and bank account freezing is common.
→ At least 6–9 months of preparation is required.
▶ China
→ Visa issuance procedures are relatively strict, and bank account freezing is frequently required.
→ Typically, 5–8 months of preparation is needed for stable processing.
▶ South Asia (India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc.)
→ Bank freezing for 3–6 months is commonly required, and administrative procedures may move slowly.
→ 9 months or more of preparation is recommended.
▶ CIS countries (Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, etc.)
→ Generally, 6 months of preparation is enough.
→ However, some regions may experience administrative delays, so preparing 6–7 months in advance is advisable.
▶ African countries (Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, etc.)
→ The verification process for academic documents can take longer, and requirements for bank balance certificates or account freezing tend to be strict.
→ Visa processing times also vary widely by country.
→ For this reason, it is generally safest to begin preparing 7–12 months in advance.
▶ Gulf/Middle Eastern countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, etc.)
→ Administrative procedures are relatively fast, but academic document legalization (Apostille or embassy certification) can be demanding.
→ Some countries also require higher bank balance amounts.
→ It is recommended to start preparing 4–7 months in advance.
📌 Summary
▶ After applying for BP Korea services, the total preparation period varies by country:
— 3–4 months for countries with faster procedures
— 4–6 months for most students
— 6–9+ months for countries with complex requirements
▶ Bank account freezing refers to depositing a required amount and keeping it inaccessible for 3–6 months, which is mandatory for certain nationalities.
→ Because required documents, administrative steps, and banking conditions vary significantly depending on nationality, students must secure enough preparation time to enter Korea during the semester they desire.
→ However, depending on the season and the administrative processing speed of each country, the overall preparation period may be completed faster than expected.

⬤■⬤⬤ BP Korea Main Service Guide
⬤⬤🟧 Language Training Program(D-4-1)BridgePlan Korea Basic Service Fee: USD 340
→ After gaining 6 months to 2 years of technical, managerial, and practical experience in Korea, you can start a business in your home country or a third country.
→ The skills and service models learned in Korea have high competitiveness abroad.
→ Particularly, the networks and practical experience gained in Korea are valuable assets when starting a business overseas.
💊 It is Very Important for Adults in Their 30s-60s to Interact with Korean University Students
▶ Korean university students have high global standards in internet utilization, digital technology, and computer skills.
→ Interacting with them can help fill in gaps when you return to your home country to start a business.
→ Language training is not only about learning Korean but also provides important experiences like developing business ideas, understanding culture, and forming networks.
📌 Even if You Struggle to Adapt to Life in Korea
▶ Studying in Korea for about 3 months could cost approximately 4 million to 5 million KRW, including tuition, housing, and airfare.
→ This period will not be a simple "time loss" but rather an investment, as the experiences and ideas gained in Korea can become valuable assets for your future.
→ Even for a short time, living in Korea will help you quickly gain insights and practical skills needed in the global market.
●●🟧 Preparation period and entry timeline after applying for BP Korea services
●✅ Basic required timeframe▶ If all documents and financial requirements are properly prepared, students can generally enter Korea within 3–6 months.
→ This timeframe includes passport issuance, academic document notarization/Apostille, bank balance verification, visa application, and visa screening.
📌 Passport application is the first essential step
Passport processing times vary significantly by country—from 15 days to as long as 2 months—so students without a passport must begin with the passport application process.
▶ If you already have a passport, make sure it has at least one year of validity remaining.
→ Many students experience delays due to insufficient passport validity, so checking this early is crucial.
●✅ Differences in preparation time by country
▶ Developed countries (United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, etc.)
→ Administrative procedures are straightforward, and bank requirements are relatively flexible.
→ Preparing 3–4 months in advance is usually sufficient.
▶ Southeast Asian countries (Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, etc.)
→ Academic document notarization and embassy verification are more complex, and bank account freezing is common.
→ At least 6–9 months of preparation is required.
▶ China
→ Visa issuance procedures are relatively strict, and bank account freezing is frequently required.
→ Typically, 5–8 months of preparation is needed for stable processing.
▶ South Asia (India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc.)
→ Bank freezing for 3–6 months is commonly required, and administrative procedures may move slowly.
→ 9 months or more of preparation is recommended.
▶ CIS countries (Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, etc.)
→ Generally, 6 months of preparation is enough.
→ However, some regions may experience administrative delays, so preparing 6–7 months in advance is advisable.
▶ African countries (Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, etc.)
→ The verification process for academic documents can take longer, and requirements for bank balance certificates or account freezing tend to be strict.
→ Visa processing times also vary widely by country.
→ For this reason, it is generally safest to begin preparing 7–12 months in advance.
▶ Gulf/Middle Eastern countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, etc.)
→ Administrative procedures are relatively fast, but academic document legalization (Apostille or embassy certification) can be demanding.
→ Some countries also require higher bank balance amounts.
→ It is recommended to start preparing 4–7 months in advance.
📌 Summary
▶ After applying for BP Korea services, the total preparation period varies by country:
— 3–4 months for countries with faster procedures
— 4–6 months for most students
— 6–9+ months for countries with complex requirements
▶ Bank account freezing refers to depositing a required amount and keeping it inaccessible for 3–6 months, which is mandatory for certain nationalities.
→ Because required documents, administrative steps, and banking conditions vary significantly depending on nationality, students must secure enough preparation time to enter Korea during the semester they desire.
→ However, depending on the season and the administrative processing speed of each country, the overall preparation period may be completed faster than expected.
