Warm greetings from Yonsei Office of International Affairs.

 

All international students who are staying in Korea for more than 90 days must apply for Alien Registration within 90 days from the arrival date. Also, for those who have already received the Alien Registration Card, they must extend the period of stay if the visa expiration date is near. If there are any international students who have entered Korea with Tourist(B-1,B-2) visa, they must change their visa type to D-2 within 30 days from the arrival date. Thus, Yonsei OIA will be operating visa agency service to assist international students for 2019-2^nd semester. We hope that you will find this of interest.
