  • Visa

All international exchange/visiting students need to obtain a D-2 (Study Abroad) visa to study in Korea. Not getting this visa before arrival may result in a cancellation of your study at Hanyang. Entering Korea with a tourist visa and changing your visa type after arrival will not be acceptable. So, please apply for a proper visa at a Korean diplomatic mission (Korean Embassy or Consulate Office) in your home country or in a country where your home university is located.
