BANK BALANCE, as printed. Most countries (일반국가): a bank certificate of 8,000,000 won or more in your own name.
China: a bank certificate issued within 30 days of the visa application date, with at least 30 days of its validity (deposit freeze) left on the visa application date.
Vietnam: deposit and freeze the study money at the Vietnam branch or subsidiary of a Korean bank and get its "study expenses deposit confirmation" (amount, freeze and period stated; balance kept 3 months or more).
Uzbekistan: a certificate of 8,000,000 won or more in your own name from a Korean financial institution located there, balance kept 3 months or more. These rules may change with embassy and immigration policy.
Application fee 100,000 won, paid separately when you apply; not refunded once the application is complete.
Cost for 2 terms (20 weeks, 6 months) in the 2025 guide: tuition 2,700,000 + Star Ville double for 6 months 1,250,000 + insurance 100,000 + airport pickup 80,000 = 4,130,000 won. For 4 terms: 6,830,000 won. Food and living costs not included.
After 6 months in Korea you join National Health Insurance (about 76,000 won a month, as printed in 2025).
The undated course page prints 130만원 (1,300,000 won) a term; the dated 2025 guide prints 1,350,000 won, used here. The Spring 2027 graduate guide (September 2026) also prints 1,350,000 won for Korean classes of 15 weeks, 200 hours.

All requirements
