Money you must show
For D-2 degree students, in force since 3 July 2023. Language students (D-4): KRW 10 million in Seoul, KRW 8 million elsewhere. Some embassies also require the balance to be held for months.

Deadlines and intakes
The Korean academic year has two semesters: spring (March), the main intake, and fall (September). Each university sets its own international admissions window, and many close several months before the semester starts to leave time for the visa. Check the international admissions page of each university you are applying to.
Work backwards from the funds rule. If your embassy requires the balance to be held for three or six months, the money has to be in the account before you even apply to the university. Add the embassy's processing time and time to find housing, and allow at least six months from application to arrival.
Language you need
Korean-taught programmes set a minimum TOPIK level, and each university chooses its own. English-taught programmes set their own IELTS or TOEFL minimums: check the programme page.
You do not need Korean for the D-2 visa if your programme is in English. You do need it for more work hours, as shown above, and in practice for most jobs off campus and most graduate roles. TOPIK is held several times a year in Korea and abroad. Plan to reach TOPIK 3 in your first year and TOPIK 4 before your third.
