Recently, there has been a significant increase in the number of international students applying for extensions of their stay. We would like to inform you of the maximum duration of stay for each degree program as specified in the Ministry of Justice's guidelines on visa issuance and stay management for foreign students. All international students at our university are advised to take note of the following:

○ Maximum Duration of Stay for Each Degree Program

• Bachelor’s Program: Maximum of 6 years from the date of admission (based on a 4-year program), and a maximum of 2 years from the date of course completion.
• Master’s Program (including integrated bachelor’s-master’s programs): Maximum of 5 years from the date of admission (6 years for 3-year programs), and a maximum of 3 years from the date of course completion.
• Doctoral Program (including integrated master’s-doctoral programs): Maximum of 8 years from the date of admission (7 years for 2-year programs), and a maximum of 5 years from the date of course completion.

Notes:

• The above limits are for the total duration of stay, while the maximum stay period granted per instance may vary.
• Both the admission date-based and course completion date-based limits must be satisfied (only the admission date-based limit applies if a completion system is not in place).
• For those who have taken a leave of absence for 2 or more consecutive semesters (1 year or more) and left Korea completely, and who return within 3 years of the complete departure date, the leave period is excluded from the maximum duration of stay.
• If only one semester of leave was taken or if the student left Korea for only one semester and returned, the previous maximum duration of stay applies.
• Visiting students (D-2-8): Maximum duration of stay is up to 1 year.
