The advice people normally get here is do it yourself, but what if you are going there to live/work and not the school part I don't think it's that easy to get the visa successfully, chances of getting it is usually low, except u use an agent, my personal opinion though

Bulk of the budget determinant would be solely hinged on ur schools fees. If that is excluded, I am sure about 1mil naira would easily bring u here and make u live here for about 2/3months(even without a job).
Hence, try securing scholarships from schools or get a low-paying ones. Cheers.

O boy see money... 1mil and school fees money is excluded. Meaning that in total one must have up to 1.3mil before looking to start this process of pursuing schooling in sk before you get work there.

Kindly note dt my budget estimate of 1mil in inclusive of ur visa applications, flight ticket(one way), and accommodation + feeding(for 2/3 months)....

In my own case.
Visa applications + documentations=22k naira
Flight ticket=300k naira (Lagos - abuja and Abuja - SK)
Dormitory + feeding for semester (4months)=$1200 (400k naira roughly wt MasterCard)

I am sure u realize dt budgets depends solely on the individual....
I hope my analysis helps...


Nice to hear. Please afterwards what the budget one will spend in the next three months after the 1.3m

Visa rules eased for foreign graduates
음성듣기
By Jung Min-ho

The Ministry of Justice eased visa restrictions Tuesday for foreigners with a Korean college degree in an effort to keep more international talent in the country.

The policy change will enable foreigners who have earned bachelor’s or higher degrees in Korea to get an E-7 (designated activities) visa, even if what they do in the workplace is unrelated to their major. Previously, that relevancy was required.

A GPA of at least 3.0, a national certificate and recommendations of professors are no longer required from foreigners to apply for a D-10 (job seeking) visa.

Also, the length of stay for D-10 visa holders has been extended from one to two years.

Meanwhile, obtaining permanent residency in Korea has become easier.

Foreigners who received their bachelor’s degree in science or engineering in Korea are now eligible to get permanent residency if they lived here for more than three years and their annual salary is higher than Korea’s per capita gross national income (GNI). In 2013, that was $26,205.

Previously, the opportunity for permanent residency was limited to foreigners that studied one of only nine programs in college ― IT, technology management, nanotechnology, digital electronics, biotechnology, transport, new material, environment and energy.

Those who earned their master’s or a higher degree in Korea are eligible to get permanent residency regardless of their majors, if they lived in Korea more than three years and their annual salary is higher than the GNI per capita.

The D-9 (international trading) visas will be issued for foreigners that invested more than 100 million won ($91,000) into Korea as long as they have a master’s or higher degree from here.

Degree-seeking students in their master’s or doctor’s program are now allowed to bring two of their immediate family members or spouse to Korea after the first six months.

The number of foreign students in Korea has increased to 86,410 in 2014, a 6.7 percent increase from 80,985 in 2009.

“We expect more foreign talent to help boost the economy,” a ministry official said.

As part of its efforts to tackle the nation’s declining labor force, the ministry is expected to continue to open more doors for foreign talent.

In December, the government said it also plans to relax the current points-based system to give permanent residency to more talented foreign workers.

As the nation’s birth rate remains stubbornly low at 1.19 children per woman, many concerns have been raised that it could seriously erode the national economy’s growth potential. The rate is one of the lowest in the world, along with Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and Singapore.

The government believes that the working age population is 73 percent of the nation’s total this year ― the highest rate ever, but it is expected to decrease from 2017.

If the government’s efforts to boost the birth rate continue to be futile, many experts say that the only other way to keep the country afloat is attracting more foreign talent.

Please Acadolla, I have read from page 1 to 8 of this thread which I was impressed from the information you were giving out. Thank u and remain blessed. I supposed to be in SK this last week 14th of this month but the person helping me with the visa process said the embassy demanded for a guarantor from south korea, and it have affected my ticket but he will ask for update. For now I am waiting for the visa to come out also waiting for the new date ticket to be fixed. But please, The guarantor issue is it true? again, is it possible to update a missed ticket? Because I paid for the ticket while waiting for my visa to come out. Thanks.

1.You're not supposed to pay for ticket till you get your visa.
2.And take note that no agent can guarantee you SouthKorean visa not even business visa.
3.And if you're sure that you or him applied for business visa, you are supposed to have a guarantor already, because before embassy will even accept your passport and visa application documents, they must see your guarantors letter and iv, so please get your information straight or you confirm if your agent is making money of u
