Language Schools in South Korea


Korean is the official language of South Korea (as published by Wikipedia on 2026-10-17). Foreign learners study Korean mainly in language programmes run by universities, and the government publishes visa information for language training under the D-4 category.

D-4 language training visa

As published by Study in Korea on 2026-10-17: the D-4 visa is for training or research at institutions not covered by the D-2 category, with subtypes D-4-1 (Korean Language Training) and D-4-2 (Foreign Language Training). Listed documents include a standard admission letter issued by the university president or dean, proof of financial ability and a training plan; documents may vary by programme and country. The page does not state the stay duration. Check the Korean mission serving you, rules change. official source

Korean language programme rule at one Korean mission

As published by a Korean overseas mission (Finland) on 2026-10-17: the D-4 Korean language programme must be run by a Korean language school under a university, and private language institutes do not qualify. This is a statement by one mission and may differ elsewhere; processing times and fees also vary. Check your own mission, rules change. official source
