The full guide
The D-2 visa is South Korea's standard visa for degree programmes (associate through doctoral) at a Korean university — distinct from D-4, which covers non-degree study like Korean-language training. The university issues a Certificate of Admission, you submit it plus financial and academic documents to a Korean embassy/consulate, and — after arrival — a separate residence-registration step is mandatory for any stay over 90 days, with real financial consequences if you miss it.
Cost: Genuinely varies by nationality and bilateral fee/reciprocity agreements — commonly cited around $80 for single entry / $120 for multiple entry, though this ranges as low as $40 elsewhere. Confirm the exact fee with the specific embassy/consulate you'll use, not a fixed assumption.
