Request a Consultation NowTop 5 Common Mistakes
Precautions for Successful Visa Application
Avoid these mistakes and prepare for your new beginning in Korea
Applying with a passport valid for less than 2 years
▶ Many applicants mistakenly think their passport is fine as long as it hasn't expired
▶ However, if your passport expires before your visa, the visa automatically becomes invalid
▶ A passport valid for at least 2 years is mandatory
▶ This rule applies not only to Korea but to all long-term study visas worldwide
▶ The longer your passport validity, the smoother your visa process
Insufficient bank balance or maintaining period
▶ Both D-4 and D-2 visas require a bank balance of at least ₩10,000,000 (KRW)
▶ You must also show bank transaction records consistently maintained for at least one month
▶ Deposits made just before the visa application may not be recognized
▶ The longer you maintain a stable bank balance, the better your chances
▶ Required balances can vary depending on your school and country
▶ Confirm the exact amount in advance through consultation
Missing or incorrect school admission letter and information
▶ Some applicants submit general notifications or email screenshots instead of an official admission letter
▶ Always submit an official admission letter issued by the school with an official seal
▶ The institution must be officially registered with the Korean Ministry of Education
Incorrect photo format or poor-quality image
▶ Dark selfies, photos with shadows, or photos in the wrong size can result in visa rejection
▶ Use a white-background ID photo taken within the past 6 months
▶ The photo size and specifications must match passport standards exactly
Omitting or falsifying past visa refusal history
▶ Some applicants hide or downplay their past visa refusal history
▶ Korean visa officials thoroughly check all past records, and providing false information could lead to permanent visa denial
▶ Honestly disclose previous refusals and clearly explain the reasons and improvements made to increase approval chances
▶ Unlike U.S. visas, which become difficult to reapply for after a rejection, Korean visas view sincere reapplication efforts positively
▶ Even if you have past refusals, don't worry reapplying with BP Korea can significantly improve your chances
