16 Sep 2019

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Last updated on February 2024.

There are many different visas for Korea. The necessary visas and rules for South Korea obviously vary from country to country. It is important to understand which visas are available and what is needed for your situation. Let’s learn more about D-4-1 and H-1 visas for Korea.

The Korea visa waiver scheme

South Korea offers a visa waiver to citizens from over 100 countries upon entry. This allows them to stay for a defined period of time without a visa.

Canada tops the list for the longest such period at 180 days. South Korea offers many countries, such as European Union member states, The United States, Australia, Brazil, Taiwan, Hong Kong, 90 days. If you are from Russia you have a period of 60 days visa-free entry. There are are also around 40 countries which are offered 30 days under this scheme including Kazakhstan, Argentina and South Africa. Please check official government sites for the latest information about the visa waiver entry policy for your country!

Under this visa-free scheme you are able to stay and travel around South Korea to your heart’s content for the entirety of your stay. If the itch to study the language takes you during this time, don’t worry! As long as you are studying within your visa-free period, you do not have to apply for a student visa!

You must obtain the relevant visas for Korea for longer periods of stay or if you wish to do specific activities outside of general travel and tourism.

Long-term visas for Korea: D-4-1 and H-1

The two visas for Korea we will be focusing on in this article are the D-4-1 and H-1 visas. These visas are both important from an official standpoint and will likely improve things practically for you as well. With an official visa and foreigner registration card, you can access many facilities and services that will make your life in Korea much more convenient. This includes being able to open a Korean bank account and sign up for a mobile phone plan.

The D-4-1 student visa for Korean language training

You require the D-4-1 visa if you are studying at a university language school for longer than your visa-free period.

The D-4-1 visa allows the holder to enroll in a Korean language school in preparation for further study or work. This visa has a maximum validity of 2 years. It is generally issued for the duration of your language school enrollment.

Under these visas you may be eligible to work a certain amount of hours for a part-time job. Immigration dictates the types of jobs you can perform. In order to qualify for this benefit you officially must maintain a 90% course attendance rate. It is important to keep a high attendance rate for the sake of the visa and for any future visa considerations that may come into place. Extremely low attendance rates are seen as not fulfilling the conditions of the visa. This can even lead to deportation from the country!

The H-1 working holiday visa

This is typically a year long visa that allows you to look for part-time work within Korea during your stay. Citizens aged between 18-30 from the eligible countries can apply for this visa. This visa is less restrictive than the D-4-1 visa as far as the scope of work allowed. Immigration prohibits jobs in the entertainment industry, foreign language instruction, and jobs requiring a license (such as lawyer or doctor).

You cannot renew or extend the H-1 visa. Among the visas for Korea, H-1 visa is meant as a temporary stay, hence the word “holiday” in its name. Changing visa types or wishing to continue after the visa period as a tourist requires you to leave Korea and return.

Holders of this visa are also allowed to enroll in Korean language courses like D-4-1 visa holders. For more detailed information about the H-1 visa please check out more information here.

Go Go Hanguk accompanied me throughout the entire process step by step. Nathan was super helpful, he answered all my questions kindly. Without his help, support and guidance I wouldn't have been able to come to study in Korea! They are very professional, they helped me with the documentation, accommodation, choosing the school... with everything! Thanks to them I felt confident about coming to have this wonderful experience! They are totally trustable, I highly recommend them. I feel very happy to be studying here in Korea! Thank you very much Go Go Hanguk and Nathan!

J’ai eu l’occasion de demander les services de Gogohankuk pour prendre des cours de langues dans une université coréenne sur place. Ils sont efficaces, à l’écoute et humain. L’échange est exactement ce qu’il faut à quelqu’un dont il faut un coup de pouce pour faire des démarche aussi sérieuse. Ils rendent la tâches bien plus simple et légère. Je recommande à 100%.

Eve F.

Service au top! J’ai été suivie pendant toute ma période d’inscription par Elodie qui a toujours été à l’écoute et réactive lors de nos échanges. Tout était très clair, fluide et bien expliqué!

Go! Go! Hanguk was so helpful throughout the entire process of figuring out my stay/schooling in Korea! From giving me the information on the school that I chose, what documents I needed to obtain/fill out, helping me secure a goshiwon to live in, and so much more! Yasti was amazing with answering all my questions and getting back to me in a timely manner. I'm so happy that I found them and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to do schooling here in South Korea!

Stephanie L.

I’m grateful to Go Go Hanguk and to Yasti, who has helped me through the whole process of applying to and entering the Korean language program.

Katherine W.

Even though I've been living in Korea for a few years now, I wasn't sure how to start the process of applying for a Korean Language Program through a university. I found Go! Go! Hanguk during one of my researches and browsing through their site made it so much easier for me to narrow down which university program would be best suited for me. On their site, they have a ton of resources and advice on the different programs offered by universities within South Korea. After I filled out their contact form, they promptly contacted me by email and graciously helped me through the steps of applying for a language program. It can take a lot of time and work to collect all the documents needed for the university application and student visa, but Go! Go! Hanguk was always there to lend a helping hand. Without them, the process would've been way more stressful.They were so kind and attentive throughout the whole process. Shout out to Luna who helped me with everything! Anytime I had a question, they were quick to respond and help. I would highly recommend working with them if you're looking to study in Korea!

Juliet J.

My experience with Go Go Hangguk has been wonderful. They have always answered my questions and been polite and helpful. It made me much less anxious to apply to university through them and made it a smoother experience. Would definitely recommend!

I want to thank Yasti at Go! Go! Hanguk for her incredible help in preparing my documents to study in Korea. Yasti was amazing—she was patient, friendly, and always available to answer my questions. Her guidance made the application process straightforward and stress-free. I felt confident knowing that she was there to ensure everything was in order. Thanks to Yasti, I'm excited and ready for engineering my new adventure in Korea. I highly recommend her to any student planning to study abroad .

As a mother, sending my daughter to study in Korea was a big step, and Go! Go! Hanguk made the entire process seamless and reassuring. Their team was incredibly supportive, guiding us through school selection, visa applications, and housing options with ease and expertise. Their clear communication and comprehensive assistance helped ease my concerns, ensuring my daughter was well-prepared for her new journey. I highly recommend Go! Go! Hanguk for any parents seeking a reliable partner in supporting their child's educational pursuits abroad.

I want to share this review just one day before going to Korea again, this time to study through the help of Go!Go! Hanguk, which has been just amazing, I have no words to describe how good and efficient their support has been, truly.They have made what seemed such a confusing and difficult journey to take into such an easy step by step walk, and by doing so literally helping me in my life so much, I'm beyond thankful as because of their amazing work and support, I'm able to fulfill a dream of mine in the smoothest of way.

Manos T.

I could not have made it as far as taking part in such a program without the help of the team Go!Go! Hanguk. Special thanks to Ms. Yasti for helping me through the entire process!The communication was clear, easy to understand, and, most importantly, fast! I highly recommend having them help you through your journey to Korea, they will make the process significantly easier than how it already is.

Natalia M

I highly recommend Go! Go! Hanguk for anyone who wants to study abroad in Korea. The application process couldn’t be easier, and communication was extremely fast and reliable. I contacted Go! Go! Hanguk last, and we have been in touch consistently since then. My coordinator was super friendly, guided me through the application process in a timely manner, and answered any additional queries I had with perfect detail. Yasti supported me every step of the way, from the initial application to helping me find accommodation during my stay in Korea. I felt satisfied throughout the entire process and would recommend Go! Go! Hanguk to everyone who’s considering taking the first step and applying! :)

Rosy Z.

They make it SO easy to get yourself set up to learn in Korea. Big props to this hardworking team. I felt (and still feel) genuinely cared for.

kee-von B.

Had a great experience with this study trip for it to be my first time in Korea teachers and staff were wonderful most activities were great will defiantly do it again

Jade G.

Elodie (French assistant) helped me a lot through the process of registering in my class in Korea. She would always reply swiftly and was as kind as patient. She gave me good tips regarding life in Korea. Her support was great for me, as doing this paperwork for the first time was pretty hard. Thank you, Elodie ! :)

Jay J.

The team at Go! Go! Hanguk was helpful through the whole process of choosing a school, applying and getting the necessary documents ready. Whenever I had questions they answered them timely and with good explanations.

Affidarmi al servizio di Go! Go! Hanguk per studiare in Corea è stata la scelta migliore. :) Hanno trovato la scuola più adatta alle mie all’esigenza e al prezzo più conveniente. Mi hanno assistito passo per passo e anche se non riuscivo a rispondere sempre subito alle mail, loro sono sempre rimasti disponibili. Anche ora che sto frequentando il corso alla Lexis posso confermare che il servizio che Go! Go! Hanguk mi ha consigliato è di ottima qualità!

ava S.

One of the best experiences of my life. These will be memories I will have forever and all the staff and teachers were amazing towards us. They worked hard to give us the best experience we could possibly have. We really were able to experience so much in such a short amount of time. Highly recommend anyone who’s looking into a trip to Korea to go through this program. Hands down it was the most amazing experience ever!

Yasmine S.

Go go Hanguk is the reason why I made so many life long friends! I would do this again in a heart beat! I would definitely recommend going in a cooler season if you’re not built for the heat! I stayed three weeks in July dorming with my sister at Dongguk University learning the language at the same time!Regardless, I still enjoyed every part of the trip! I highly recommend going through GoGo Hanguk, they were always there if any questions, or concerns came up, even great recommendations where to eat, or visit (:They were the reason we were able to experience so much on the trip. I already know my experience would not have been to this amazing if I had gone alone. Do this program! It’s 100% worth it!

Teresa W.

Ich bin über Social Media auf Go Go Hanguk gestoßen und muss sagen, dass ich sehr froh darüber bin. Nach meiner Anfrage habe ich ziemlich schnell eine Rückmeldung bekommen und bin seitdem durchgehend in Kontakt mit ihnen. Sie sind sehr hilfreich und verständnisvoll und alles ist übersichtlich geklärt. In weniger als 2 Monaten bin ich dank Go Go Hanguk in Seoul und lerne in der Dongguk Universität Koreanisch:)

Ophélie T.

Je recommande vivement l'organisme Go! Go! Hanguk. Les démarches pour m'inscrire à l'université en Corée du Sud ont été très simples et intuitives. J'ai eu la chance d'être accompagnée dans mon projet par Elodie, qui a toujours répondu à toutes mes questions, en étant réactive et très professionnelle. Aussi, l'assurance de pouvoir les contacter pendant toute la durée de mon échange est très rassurant. Merci Go! Go! Hanguk :)

Plab L.

Accompagnement extraordinaire et sur mesure (mention spéciale Elodie) : de la constitution de dossier à l'arrivée sur le Campus de Konkuk, Séoul. C'est beaucoup plus fluide lorsqu'on vous aide à réaliser un rétroplanning et qu'étape par étape vous voyez le projet de votre enfant se dessiner et prendre vie.C'est toujours un peu effrayant ce genre de démarche pour nous parents : Gogo Hanguk est un facilitateur hors pair.Si je devais renouveler l'expérience, je le ferai sans sourciller.

Manon G.

A l'écoute et très réactif. J'ai adoré passer par cette agence et Elodie ma personnellement beaucoup aider dans les démarches et a su me conseiller sans juger mes crainte ou autre.Je repasserai sans soucis par cette agence si besoin !Maintenant plus qu'à attendre le départ pour la Corée du Sud ^^

Ripert F.

Elodie m'a accompagné moi et mon amie tout au long du processus de la découverte des différents séjours jusqu'à notre départ pour la Corée. Elle a su faire preuve de bienveillance et a pris le temps de tout nous expliquer en répondant à toutes nos questions.Merci Elodie pour ton sérieux, ta gentillesse et ta compréhension.

Zoë S.

I’ve always loved the idea of studying in Seoul but found the application process really overwhelming. That’s why I got in contact with Go! Go! Hanguk and I’m glad I did. They’ve helped me so much and Luna explained everything well and answered all my questions. They will guide you through the whole process and tell you exactly which documents you need to prepare for your trip and when. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Nadja S.

Leider sehr enttäuscht von Gogohanguk1. Seit 3 Jahren weiss ich von denen vorher war die Webseite viel übersichtlicher.2. Anforderungen werden nicht auf geschrieb oder wen man zu früh anfrägt gibt es keine Auskunft. Ich habe 2 Jahre mich gefreut auf die Hanyang Schule zu gehen zum koreanisch zu lernen. Hab mir bereits mich mit einerJacke von Hanyang eingedeckt für nur das man nicht gehen kann.3. Klar ist es nocht GoGohanguk schuld was für Anforderungen die Schule hat aber man könnte es wenigstens aud der Webseite kommunizieren.4. Es werden falsche Informationen aus Insta geteilt. Das man keine Anforderungen braucht. Nur was das Land von dem man kommet erc. -> Anforderung Hanyang. Highschool Abschluss / das ist ein Abitur oder in der Schweiz Berufsmatura. ( bin 30ig arbeite seid 14 Jahren in 2 Jahren für den Sprachaufenthalt 40k gespart). Aber das ist nichts wert. Vorallem kann man eine Abitur nicht mit der Matura vergleichen. Jeder 2the kriegt in Deutschland ein Abitur. Auch wird in der Schweiz nicht überall das Abitur anerkannt.Fazit: Es fehlen so viele Infos oder werden falsche geäußert. Danke das mein Herzgebrochen wurde meine Jahrelange Vorfreude zu nichte ging.Gehe jetzt zur Rolling Korea wo alles viel einfach und schneller ablief.

Tom L.

Superbe service et accompagnement.Une tonne d’échanges et questions pour Elodie qui m’a guidé parfaitement et a été très compréhensive. Je recommande sincèrement.Rien a redire

Monja S.

Gogo Hanguk ist wirklich ein sehr vertrauensvoller und zuverlässiger Service, falls ihr mal in Korea einen Sprachkurs machen möchtet. Sie helfen bei Fragen und erklären euch genau, was man machen muss, um an einer Schule angenommen zu werden. Auch bei der Unterkunft helfen sie einem und sind nett und freundlich. Und der Service ist kostenlos :)

anime S.

I was so nervous to apply through a program at first but the more I trusted the process everything fell into place.

I had really good experience with this company. Everything is legit and you don't have to worry about anything if you book your language program with go go hanguk. It is way easier to manage everything with them rather then doing it on your own. I know how it is if you have to do everything on your own! It can be scary and overwhelming, so Go Go hanguk is really a good option! They were always really friendly and ready to help no matter how small my questions were.I really recommend it to everyone that wants to do a language program in Korea and are unsure on where to start!

Then I started looking for something that would help me along the way to understand the process and support me with the application. That’s how I found Go! Go! Hanguk! Nathan supported me throughout the whole process and also answered all my questions that I came up with. He really was super helpful and calmed my nerves by always getting quickly back to me.

J'ai été très bien accompagnée tout au long des préparatifs qui précédaient mon voyage ! J'obtenais des réponses détaillées très rapidement, j'en suis très reconnaissante ! L'accompagnement proposé m'a d'ailleurs facilité la tâche concernant les démarches administratives et toutes les informations dont j'avais besoin étaient regroupées à un seul endroit.Je recommande !!

Ness K

Cela fait deux fois que je passe par GogoHanguk pour étudier en Corée du Sud. Ils sont très à l’écoute et réactifs, c’est vraiment rassurant lorsque l’on se sent parfois débordé par les démarches. Un merci spécial à Elodie qui a rendu mon projet PVT/études en Corée possible.

Lorine L.

Go Go Hanguk a été d'une grande aide pour toutes les démarches administratives, et la personne avec qui j'étais en relation a toujours été très réactive quant à mes questions.Je pars la semaine prochaine et espère que tout se passera bien, mais je recommande grandement leurs services !

Agathe B.

Si vous chercher quelqu’un pour vous aider dans vos démarches Coréennes, ne cherchez pas plus loin! Gentils, patients, réactifs, l’équipe de Gogohanguk est top. Grace à eux j’ai organisé mon départ sereinement et facilement. Après 5 mois de nombreux échanges (il faut être patient et bien suivre les instructions données) je pars complètement sereine! Merci beaucoup (en particulier à Mathilde et à Elodie!)

Tahra

Mon départ est prévu dans quelques jours pour Séoul, et très clairement Go! Go! Hanguk a été un réel moteur dans cette procédure.Je remercie infiniment Elodie pour son professionnalisme et son écoute, ça a été très rassurant pour moi de pouvoir échanger avec elle par mail sur n’importe quelle situation ou question. Elle apporte un accompagnement attentif et bienveillant étape par étape, une disponibilité sans faille et de précieux conseils.Merci encore ✨🧡💛

J'ai été en contact avec Élodie de GoGoHanguk pendant plus d'un an, où elle m'a aidé avec toute les questions que j'avais et pour toute les procédures.Aujourd'hui je viens d'atterrir en Corée du Sud et j'ai hâte de commencer les coursMerci beaucoup

Kevin W.

GogoHanguk supported me regarding the application at Sejong University and the booking of a dormitory. They were always very nice, gave me all the information which I was asking for (and even more) and replied super fast! I would recommend gogohanguk to everyone who wants to learn Korean fast.

elize van der W.

Je dois avouer que j'étais plutôt sceptique, mais je suis tombée sur Elodie, avec qui tout s'est très bien passé. Elle a su me guider tout au long des préparatifs et de l'inscription. Très à l'écoute, très rapide dans ses réponses, très concrète, vraiment un plaisir de se sentir écoutée pour un si gros projet.Je recommande sincèrement les yeux fermés. Encore un énorme merci à elle et bravo à eux 🌸

Simon E.

I can absolutely recommend GoGoHanguk. In particular thanks to Luna, who assisted me in the whole process from finding a suiting university, the application process until the acceptance of visa. The communication and application process with some of the universities in Korea can for sure be a bit time consuming and intricate, thus failure prone. So I was happy that the application process with GoGoHanguk was a bit more pragmatic and they answered even special inquiries quickly.

Mariah J.

Really helpful, if I didn't understand something they walked me through it. They also responded in a timely manner, and I appreciated the detail in answering my many questions throughout the application process

Eloïse C.

Je remercie Go go Hanguk, qui m'aura permis de pouvoir réaliser mon rêve, j'ai passé 5 merveilleux mois en Corée 😍Ils ont toujours étaient là pour bien me guider et bien répondre à mes questions :)

haley G.

Had the best time in Korea! Definitely recommend if you haven’t been to Korea before, everyone was super helpful and friendly! And I made so many international friends! Will save up to come again soon :)

Anouk C.

J'arrive (malheureusement) à la fin de mon voyage et je tiens à remercier l'équipe de Gogo Hanguk de m'avoir accompagné ! J'ai été en contact avec Elodie et les échanges se sont toujours très bien passé, elle a su m'aider toujours dans la gentillesse et la rapidité. J'ai pu passé 6 mois à l'université Hanyang et je ne regrette pas d'avoir passé ce cas et fait ce grand voyage.Encore merci !

Je recommande a 300%

Melody M.

I’ve had a great experience with Yasti and have been so well looked after with my journey and studying in South Korea. Highly recommend Go! Go! Hanguk!

Kasey M.

Amazing experience from start to finish. I don’t think I could have done it without their help! They did everything quickly and efficiently. You must use Go! Go! Hanguk. This is your sign!!!

Natalie G.

It's very easy and convenient to apply at a language institute with GoGoHanguk. It is FREE of charge (!!!) and they will let you know if any document is missing, so for people like me with ADHD or just trouble organising, it's perfect.Nathan Maloney is a very kind and hard-working person and he will assist you like no other can. HIGHLY recommend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Emma Kragh M.

I can highly recommend GoGoHanguk. They have provided me with extremely professional guidance about language school, accommodation, airport transport, visa, and many other questions regarding my trip to Seoul, South Korea. I have always received very quick and thorough answers to large and small questions. It has been very safe to work with GoGoHanguk and I can highly recommend them! My contact person was Yasti, who was extremely helpful and service-minded. GoGoHanguk was also very helpful and flexible when my flight to Seoul, South Korea was canceled and original arrangements had to be changed. GoGoHanguk has provided me with help both before my departure and during my stay in South Korea. I have rarely experienced higher service anywhere. Quite extraordinary and I will definitely use GoGoHanguk again!

Ia ora na/Bonjour,Je viens de Tahiti et j’ai longtemps attendu ce moment, cette aventure, l’expérience incroyable et importante pour moi. Mon travail me prenez du temps et Go Go Hanguk m'ont accompagnés, aidés et j’en avais besoin. Ils sont extrêmement réactifs ! J’adore ! Elodie a été ma correspondante a fait un travail carré, comme j’aime. Elle a répondu à tous mes questions, elle s’est même inquiété pour mon visa. L’organisme est clair, les informations qu’ils demandent sont faciles à fournir, ils communiquent pour vous avec l’université qu’ils proposent. Franchement, j’suis extrêmement reconnaissante d’être tombé sur leur site internet et de les avoir fait confiance ! Au moment où j’écris ce message de remerciement, je suis encore sur Tahiti mais demain c’est le grand jour, je passe de 29 degrés tropical ressenti 35, à une fin d’hiver coréen, c’est la seule chose qui m’angoisse lol. Cependant grâce à Go Go Hanguk, je pars sereine avec enthousiasme. Mauru’uru roa Elodie pour ton aide encore une fois, je te remercierai jamais suffisamment.Mauru’uru et bon voyage à moi (et aux futurs voyageurs qui rêve d’y aller).

Go! Go! Hanguk helped me a lot. I always got my answers as quickly as possible and it was pretty easy to organize everything with their help.

Exceptionnel, j'ai eu un suivi personnalisé dès le début de mon projet. J'ai été accompagnée tout au long de mes démarches par la même personne, ce qui est très rassurant. Elodie a répondu toujours très rapidement (en tenant compte du décalage horaire quand même) à toutes mes demandes et a su me guider jusqu'au décollage. Elle m'a aidé pour toutes les démarches administratives en faisant le lien avec l'université que j'avais choisie, mais aussi pour trouver un logement, la demande de Visa, trouver un taxi à l'aéroport, choisir l'opérateur de téléphonie le plus adapté... et trouver les mots pour me rassurer...Bref merci mille fois à l'association, n'hésitez pas à les contacter et tout est gratuit bien sûr...

Yasti from Go! Go! Hanguk has been such an incredible help to me in my study abroad journey. Truly grateful to the Go! Go! Hanguk team but especially Yasti for not only making sure I was well informed/prepared prior to applying for a school but also for continuing to check up on me even after I've arrived for my term. The whole process was painless thanks to them. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to study language abroad 10/10!

Je suis vraiment reconnaissante d'avoir été en contact avec Gogo Hanguk et en particulier avec Elodie. Il y a de nombreuses de démarches à effectuer mais heureusement, j'ai été très bien accompagnée du début à la fin (je n'aurais jamais pu m'en sortir seule!). Malgré certains problèmes que j'ai pu rencontré, Elodie m'a toujours proposé des solutions, ce qui m'a plusieurs fois sauvé de la panique. Encore merci pour l'aide immense qui a été apportée, je recommande cette organisation à 100%!! :)

Go! Go! Hanguk was an absolute gift from above! When I was looking into studying in Korea, I felt incredibly overwhelmed by all the options. But then Yasti came along and completely calmed all my concerns. She has been with me through the whole process, answering all the random questions I may through at her, with quick communication and comprehensive information. I feel very ready for Korea and I know I wouldn't have been this ready without her incredible help. If you're looking to study in Korea, I 100% recommend Go! Go! Hanguk! I am beyond grateful to have found them and you will be too.

Je tiens à remercier tous le staff de GO GO HANGUK pour m'avoir aidé dans toutes les démarches administratives. C'était un projet que j'avais début longtemps mais les péripéties de la vie ont bousculé mes plans. Mais le staff m'a accompagné et soutenu. Je les remercie pour leur efficacité, leur réactivité, leur explication, leur accompagnement et leur soutien. Je pars dans 10 jours. Merci !

Great service! Very helpful and did their best to understand my particular situation (mature student having lived mostly abroad so paperwork was tricky), and managed to get everything done in just a few weeks 👍

Baptiste A.

Merci beaucoup à cette organisme et tout particulièrement à Elodie qui a su répondre à toutes mes questions. Avoir une personne qui parle français et qui répond rapidement à nos interrogations est vraiment super ! Cela permet de bien préparer son départ et de combler certaines appréhensions. Un organisme au top que je recommande vivement pour toute personne voulant venir apprendre le coréen en Corée !

I had the pleasure of having Yasti help me apply to Hanyang Univeristy to study Korean. Everything was simple and easy. I didn’t feel stressed or worried at all during the application process. If I had a question or a concern, Yasti always replied to me the following day or within two days. I never felt as if I was forgotten. I was also able to find accommodation that suited my needs which was comforting. I’ll be flying to Korea in 9 days and will be living there for 3 months. I did visit Korea last year to visit a few universities that I’m thinking of applying to for graduate school. I wanted to learn Korean if I was going to go to school there, but I also wasn’t sure if living in Korea would be something I’d be comfortable doing long term, so I thought doing a 3 month language study would be a good first step. As someone who has lived in Japan for 2 years, Korea is pretty different. I’d highly recommend for you to do some research about Korean culture and what to expect. I notice that common courtesy isn’t very common in Korea, so please don’t be offended. It’s important to learn and adapt to their way of living, so make some time to learn about the do’s and dont’s of living there. Koreans will definitely appreciate the effort you put in to learn their language and their culture. If you're ever going through a hard time or need some advice or guidance, Go! Go! Hanguk will be there to help you the best they can! I guess you could say that Yasti will be my "guardian" while I'm in Korea if I ever need help with something. My mom is trying to encourage me to vlog about my experience. I'm a pretty private person, but I am thinking about doing it for those of you who aren't sure about making such a big decision. I'll update my review to let you all know if I decide to do so!

Un mot : Incroyable.J’ai préparé un visa étudiant pour 6 mois avec l’aide d’Elodie qui a été incroyable et m’a toujours aidé. J’ai été accompagnée depuis ma demande jusqu’à la délivrance de mon visa. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés c’est un organisme réactif et très professionnel.Je recommande 100%. Et merci aussi à Mathilde qui s’est occupé également de moi 😁
