WILL10: Hello WILL10, glad to see you answering questions on here while acadolar is on leave So, what's the citizenship path like in South Korea? Do credible and law abiding visa holders get chance to a SK citizenship ? SHALOM |
Re: Thread for South Korea prospective students by WILL10: 2:24am On Jul 03, 2017 |
suxes2005: The Citizenship path looks green and juicy but not without a few surmountable constraints here and there. Becoming a permanent citizen (F5 visa) starts with securing the F2 status first. The long-term residency status (F2 Visa) is based on a point-system structure and the more points you secure, the greener your chances would be. I have attached a file to further show how this is done and how best you could achieve this. Eligibility To get the F-2 visa, you must: 1. Have an eligible visa status i.e an E-series or D-Series: (D-2, D-5, D-6, D-7, D-8, D-9, D-10 (D-2 and D-10 holders must be in master’s or doctorate degree program and have job prospects lined up)) 2. Lived in Korea for at-least 1 year or more 3. Reach at-least 80 points out of a possible 120. I hope this helps! Cheers 2 Likes 2 Shares

WILL10: Thank you so much for the detailed reply. @all, I think this answers your question about getting Korean PR. I've always loved South Korea but the main issue is their language. But then, it's a plus for anyone to learn how to speak and write foreign languages! SHALOM PS: I was at the embassy few days ago, met one Nigerian speaking Russian fluently - you'll love it to be you. 2 Likes |

Things changing with time, Korea moving with the speed of light. Students basically coming here with intentions to work fulltime because naija no good. They have adopted new laws, but there is God. Graduate degree students will need bank statement showing $20,000 while undergraduate students and Korean language students will show less than that to get admission and even to extend visa here in Korea. Existing students in Korea will bring evidence of how the money($20,000) was wired by sponsor to their Korean account along with bank statement from Korean bank before they can extend their visa in Korea. Those on assylum visas are now being taxed almost $1000 every 3 months to get visa extension which will be cancelled any moment. From September, any intl student caught working without permit will be deported immediately as they said. Make una get ready especially in terms of bank statement before coming to avoid entering illegal. 3 Likes |

acadollar:Please, we need more clarifications here. Do you mean that graduate students will need to cause their sponsors to wire $20000 to a Korea bank before being issued a visa here in Nigeria, or are you referring to when you're already in Korea and you want to extend your visa? Please make a clarification on this, thanks. |

Re: Thread for South Korea prospective students by saintandsinnerz: 3:06pm On Jul 06, 2017 |
acadollar:Lol, this is preposterous! Do they even think it through before coming out with such policy? Many sponsors will not agree to transfer such a huge amount of money abroad for obvious reasons. If they want to start a block-money policy like the Germans do, then they should demand that the money is transferred to a Korea bank before the student is issued a visa not when the student is already in Korea. What of students that no longer rely on their sponsors after securing legitimate part time jobs that take care of their needs, will they be required to produce a Korean bank statement that has $20000? And will a student who is already in Korea studying be deported as a result of his sponsor's inability or refusal to transfer the said amount? Please, if you don't mind can you share a link concerning this policy, let me read up as it is confusing. Thanks. Will10 Please, can you comment on this. 4 Likes |

saintandsinnerz:After one year of study, you need to extend your visa in order to keep your studentship. If you are unable to extend your visa due to finance, you are automatically no more a student, and you become illegal and liable for deportation if caught. It's not to scare you after all there are hundreds of intl students here but its to get yourself prepared. You can raise some part of the money here but all money has to be traced via your account. If for example you worked in Korea and make $10,000, your employer name will reflect on your account as the depositor. But then you are supposed to work 20 hours per week and that is after your ist 6 months of study with good grades. Immigration has to check your transcript and you will get a job first before work permit will be issued so it's hard to get $10,000 if you work 20hrs a week. That is not even obtainable. Everything is possible. 1 Like |

acadollar:So a master's degree student who has obtained a two-year visa needs to extend his visa again after his first year in Korea, despite having a two-year visa? |
Re: Thread for South Korea prospective students by acadollar(m): 10:59pm On Jul 06, 2017 |
Basically students used to borrow money and dump in their account for visa extension and it used to be $10,000 for each extension. That means if you have $3000, you can borrow the remaining 7000 from friends, deposit in your account and go for visa extension with no worries. But now, they increased it to $20,000 and also want to verify how you get the 20000, they want to know if you worked and how you were able to raise such amount too. And they want to see a proof of international wire transfer to your account from your sponsor to be sure that you didn't work to make such money and that you actually came to study and not work The point is that they want students to stop working and depend on their sponsor abroad. I hope they tamper justice with mercy. 1 Like |

saintandsinnerz:When you come here with two year visa on your passport, they give you one year stay to come back and extend again after one year. Most people were lucky last year because they have them straight two years here but right now, they split it and give you one to come back again after one year. Some masters program is 3 years so you have to come twice. 1 Like |

Lanre12388: if you want to confirm your documents by the korean embassy. you will 1st. go to your school and collect attestation letter from dean and it must be stamp and signed by dean. 2nd. go to the federal ministry of education for authentication of your documents. 3rd. go to federal ministry of foreign affairs for authentication of your documents. 4th. go to court for affidavit that you are the rightful owner of your documents. 5th. coloured copy of your international passport data page. 6th. go to VFS in abuja and submit. The price is 4500 per document. It will take 5 working days for your documents to be ready. goodluck 4 Likes 1 Share |
