But from my research, I saw that the Naira is higher in Value than the Korean Won.

Or do they pay workers in other currencies??

Why I ask is because the Tuition is in dollars, but they pay workers in their local currency.

So does going there to work and study, can it benefit??

I think you should go back and read the thread bro. I'm still in Nigeria you know and i acted based on the little information i got here. You can't get first hand information till you see for yourself. Any which way, life is a struggle. For me, the journey hasn't been easy. Going to have to buy dollars for 382 today when i budgeted 282 before i started this processing. Be strong and take the risk but get Oluwa involved. Cheers!

What Uni is that?

What is the tuition?

Can you convert to masters after the language program?

Can you stay back and work after graduation?..... That is the problem people travelling to Most european countries don't understand.

First and foremost south korea is in Asia. The name of the school is kumoh national institute of technology, Gumi. The tuition for language program is $2,345 excluding accommodation fees. I guess after your program you can stay back and work now according to the new policy irrespective of if where you work isn't in line with your discipline.
Again, you can convert your visa to a D2 visa when done with your program. I hope i've been able to assist with your questions bud. Cheers!

generalbush:


What and what did you legalize Sir...

Please I really need it.... Thanks

Sorry for the late reply bud. I legalized my credentials and diplomas. It just depends on what your school requests from you. I understand some schools don't even need to see embassy confirmation from applicant.

Admission granted to study language program at KIT this week. Thank God for his favour. I need help in tuition payment from brothers in korea. Please don't hesitate to contact me. This is rush hour for me now guys. Thanks

jugreency3:
It took me more than 2 months and yet could not pay it.

that's bad news oh. Have you paid now?

jugreency3:

The truth is, this thread is slow like this because many people don't yet believe they can make money in south korea. So people are still rushing to Canada usa and other popular countries. One thing is to get admission, another thing is for you to see bank that will pay your school fees. I am talking from experience and some people can testify to that. I sofa for this pals.
I will advise you to start your application on time so that you can fight the wahala of cbn to a stand still. Diamond bank still remains the best bank but i came to know too late. We are still on the hustle bec we are not of they that give up but of they that lush to the end.

How long does it take bro for school to confirm fees?

Shakitibob0:
my brother - - - this thread tire person ooo-----some people will say its because of VO but i began to Wonder if there are no vos viewing the usa--germany---canada and other threads alike---yet valuable information including visa and travel transcript are disclosed

I'm glad you agree with me on this one bro. God will guide us where necessary. Let's hope our call reaches somebody. All i know is that we can never be too busy to at least drop a post that'll affect someone's life here positively. Cheers!

Hi everyone, i'm George by name and i've been following this thread for a while now. I'm an applicant for fall semester Language studies in Korea. I am not impressed at all with the silence of this beloved thread which is full of detailed information and key insights concerning the whole process of studying in korea. We have people here, that have come and gone through this thread but they refuse to share success stories. Nobody is updating the house on first hand gists or tips. I'm not asking for much but please let's try to find time to drop posts here and encourage the people like us that have found interest to study in korea. I indulge everyone to please say something and let's keep this thread alive and hale. I appreciate each and every one of you guys. Thanks so much. Cheers!

@ accadollar- I sent you a mail bro. Please try and get back to me. It's urgent bro

Shakitibob0:
are you applying for language studies?

yes...

jugreency3:

Boss, did you ask the woman or any other embassy official if the requirements on their embassy website are the only documents we need, if not please help us to contact the woman and ask her. Thank you sir

I can't just call her like that except it's an urgent or pressing issue. You can add useful supporting documents. Have you applied for your visa?

WILL10:


Welcome back bro.
I have just received admission into KIT(for integrated PhD in computer science).
Next face should be visa applications.
Would u kindly lemme know if people with foreign Bach n masters degree would also have to pass thru naija MFA at Abuja(as I have obtain mine from India). And also be kind enuf to breakdown d process. Cheers

Thanks bro, how long did it take you to get your admission package? I will let you know when i find out bro. But check korean embassy for visa requirements for you programme because they are different from language visa but will clarify on the foreign affairs legalization as soon as i get hold of concrete details.

jugreency3:

Welcome and thank God. Did u ask any questions in embassy, what about air ticket? What else do u know apart from what u went for? Please share

I was able to speak with a korean administrative staff that called me to come pick up my documents. I used the opportunity to confirm about visa processing times and she said minimum of ten business days but it actually differs depending on the case of various applicants because of clarification of bank statement and other processes but i think they're efficient persons. Aside from vfs that isn't reliable. And mind you i went to pick up my documents myself because i stated it was urgent in an e-mail i sent to them about meeting up with a deadline. She's a good person as she even called me with her personal number. Those bad belle security men for gate even stopped me and told me they were on break that i should return in 2hours time after explaining to them about my plight. I just called her and she came to attend to me personally. For now, that's all i can say.

I am back from Abuja and i thank God for journey mercy to and fro. Done with authentication,legalization and embassy seal(confirmation) and sent my documents via Fed Ex to Kumoh. Expecting a response from them asap. Please, gurus in the house should keep us updated on new developments and life generally in Korea via posts and updates. Cheers guys!

farellstone:
Please house I need full information on how to get a teaching job in south korea.im a graduate of English language.I also wish to know the requirements for visa.

You can't teach with a Nigerian passport in south korea bro

jugreency3:

Definitely it will be faster but at what rate will ur anty sell dollar for u? She will want to use the black market rate for u because that is what the dollar would have amount to supposing she brought it home. But if she is kind enough to give u at the official rate, then u are good to go and it will be faster.

thanks so much bud. I really appreciate your prompt response. Long live thee!

jugreency3:

I think the best bank u should use is diamond bank. Don't try to use ecobank because they will waste your time. Ecobank sells 300 naira per dollar but diamond bank is 283 or 284 depending on thier biding that day. U cannot expedite the process, i will advice u do it on time and not wait till dieing minutes. It will take one week and above to get your admission package from South korea. From what i have gathered and i think it also depends on the school. Apply to a school who has good communication relationship with their clients so that u can always relate to them when u have any challenge. Daehan University is the best in communication. https://m.facebook.com/dtuenglishprogram/
Thats their Facebook chat link and they always reply. Don't forget that they are 8 hours ahead if us, so chat with them accordingly. PLEASE i hope i did not offend.

Thanks bro. I'm considering asking an aunt to pay for me in the states and i'll credit her naira account here. Would it be a faster process than using the banks? Cc acadollar,don milky,puritymypride,vknonkwo and every other person with knowledge about this suggestion

....

Guys, how long does it take embassy to legalize documents both here in Nigeria and for those that did theirs in korea through friends? I have submitted since tuesday(10am) and the lady at the reception promised to call when it's ready. I haven't seen any alert from her till now. Even though she said it would take tentatively two days processing time. Today is the third day already and it's delaying my process. Also, how long does it take to pay school fees from Nigeria and receive admission package from korea? Is there any option to expedite this service and probably pay through tuition for it. Please help to clarify guys.

Shakitibob0:
Hi are you done with authentication in abj?

Yes i am done

jugreency3:

Thank you for this post, but what is the lesson you wants us to learn from this post?

From all indications, you must be someone that back bites or a bad belle. You better be careful with the manner you destructively criticise posts! Grow up!

BlackPencil001:
I'm a silient reader of this thread,I started following this thread since last year December.I have a reason for not be a member til I joined today,I really commend the wrk Acadollar is doing here,as well as d helpful hints given recently by milkydaddy which really gingered me up.The guy is too much.I also commend every1 here.To d gurus in d house kindly help me out,there is something I don't understand abt d issue of family certs.How/where can I get it done?

You can get it done in a court be it a magistrate or high court. Just swear an affidavit of fact listing your parents and siblings. What school are you applying to?

vkonkwo:

Hoping to get admission letter next week by God grace.
Wish u all d best

Thanks bud and you too. Where would you be in south korea?

vkonkwo:


Bro how far have u gone with the legalisation.

I'm still in abuja, i would collect my legalized documents on Monday. The holiday affected me real bad. By the grace of God, would proceed to the embassy on Monday. I hope i get that done asap as time isn't on my side again. How about you? What's the latest?

Pasca07:
pls read this kcluv2men I think it will be helpful

Thanks so much buddy.

Pasca07:
I scanned all my documents to them

Your school didn't request for confirmation seal from embassy or apostille stamp?

jugreency3:
I don't really know.

Did you scan it to him or by mail? What school offered you admission? Cc pasca07

jugreency3:

I only did legalization because someone help me apply in sk. It took me 3days

He got the seal there for you?

jugreency3:

Thank God

Did you get any apostille or confirmation from the embassy? How long did your legalization take? Did you request for eligibility letter?

I just changed the printout from the bank to receipt at the revenue office. It was already 4pm so by the time i got upstairs. She was gone. Trust me, she's very saucy and rude. So, my journey continues on Thursday

Guys i'm in abuja oh! Today was a hectic day for me. I'm tired of this country. I wonder why people should be collecting bribes for authentication of docs. From one desk to the other. I moved from bank to bank around abuja looking for where to pay the dues. Me and some guys i met there. I spent over three hours doing this....
