Re: Thread for South Korea prospective students by WILL10: 3:24am On Jun 14, 2017
I am honestly not supposed to say this here but i keep getting this continued vibes that most of you guys on the other-end have these thoughts that life here is all rosy and sweet as soon as you get here. Your life could be a little miserable here if you do not properly plan your visa type/status from Nigeria. So please take note!


CANDID OPINION:

Coming here on Language Program visa status(D4) as your option A. If you are here on a Language program visa (D4), you clearly would not be able to freely work until the completion of the program. Besides, you are not even allowed to work on that visa type. If caught, you would be instantly put on the next available flight, back to Naija!
Hence, i suggest you have your mind ZEROED at sponsoring yourself fully for the 6-months period(work or no-work situation). Come with enough cash to sponsor yourself for that period until you find something doing.

Option B is to directly come here on a UG/Master/PhD Program visa (D2). That should allow you to freely work at nights on the side(with the consent of your institution though and not more than 30-40 hours weekly). That should be enough especially when you also get some kinda scholarships for your program and upkeep.
But you clearly cannot also work daily full-time jobs on that visa type. If caught, you would either pay a very heavy fine or be deported immediately(for 2nd time offenders). Hence, getting admitted into any shambolic program or institution does not matter here.

Option C is to seek an asylum visa status(G1) after the completion of your Language Program visa. That visa only lasts for a few months or tops; 1year&6months(if you are lucky). That visa status would allow you to work here freely day or night but with lots of restrictions.

NB: These points have been somewhat buttressed by Acadollar, a few other guys already here and myself in the previous threads.

The choice is always yours to make guys!

Goodluck!

Talk to the school and see what can be done.

That's the dilemma of some graduates in Nigeria. No certificate after years of graduation

Try and do research about what's required of you to fufil before travelling. If your passport is visa free, then ask yourself "what am I going there to do"? The answer to this question will surely tell you the kind of things or documents you should have. That your passport is visa free to a country doesn't warrant you to just board a plane and travel to that country without any reason. Try and look for a conference or business invitation and fufil the requirements, then you can make appropriate use of your visa free passport.

Do the needful,
1. Start by going through the thread from the scratch,
2. Jot down some useful info(such as University names, their contacts, fee structures and many more),
3. Make more research using GOOGLEDOTCOM.............and just then would your questions be effectively answered!

If you must eat some cakes, you must either have them baked by yourself or you may have to consider paying someone to bake 'em cakes for you.

Hello House, I greet everyone..
Student visa to S/K is it single entry or multiple entry..are you the one to chose or they'll choose for you?

Student visas to SK (and to all other countries) are usually single entry as they are regarded as long-termed and do not expect students to frequently engage on international travels in the cause of their Academic program. However, some students are lucky enough to get theirs as multi-entry, and this remains a luck!
However, you could maximize your chances by filling-in multi-entry (as a preference) in your visa application form!

Hope this helps!
Cheers
