⚠️ WILL THE E-VISA BE CANCELED? 🇰🇷
One of the most frequently asked questions lately.
Below is a clear explanation of the official situation ⬇️
📌 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Starting next season, regarding the master's degree (E-visa):
➡️ some universities may temporarily stop accepting students via E-visa.
❗️This does NOT mean that the general E-visa will be closed.
🔎 What is the reason?
Universities in Korea:
The ranking
is divided into categories based on the results of students in previous seasons.
📌 Accordingly:
Some universities are only allowed to submit documents for 2 semesters in 4 years
If the university has accepted students for 2 semesters in a row,
➡️ a temporary restriction may be imposed next season
This restriction:
❌ Not for all universities
❌ Not for the entire E-visa system
✅ Only applies to some universities
✅ MOST IMPORTANT
👉 In general, E-visa is expected to CONTINUE next season.
However ⚠️:
Students who enter Korea with an E-visa
are
closely monitored
by immigration for
study attendance
and
class attendance
and
legal work
📍.
If students:
✅ No violations
✅ The study process is normal
➡️ E-visa will not be restricted in the coming seasons.
📌 CONCLUSION
❌ “E-visa is closed” is a false statement
⚠️ Some universities may have temporary restrictions
✅ If you choose the right university, there is no problem
