Study in Korea from Bangladesh

THE SAME FOR EVERYONE

The process itself doesn't change by nationality.

Two visa types

D-2 if you've already been admitted to a degree programme, D-4 if you're starting with Korean-language study first.

A fixed four-stage process

University admission, enrollment, your visa application at the Korean embassy or consulate in your own country, then registering with immigration within 90 days of arrival.

HiKorea is the official source

Requirements can change — always confirm the current document list and any nationality-specific rules at HiKorea (☎ 1345) before you apply.

What's different if you're applying from Bangladesh

Visa applications go through Dhaka's application center, not the embassy

The Korean Embassy in Dhaka handles diplomatic visas directly, but ordinary visa applications — including student visas — go through the Korea Visa Application Center (KVAC) in Dhaka by mandatory online appointment, not a walk-in at the embassy. There's also a Korean consulate in Chittagong.

Confirm the TB test requirement

The Korean embassy's own notice confirms Bangladeshi nationals applying for a visa longer than 91 days — which includes the D-2 study visa — need a tuberculosis medical certificate from a designated clinic. Confirm the current designated-clinic list at HiKorea before you apply.

A study visa (D-2/D-4) is not the same as a work visa (E-9)

Bangladesh has sent workers to Korea under the EPS labor programme (E-9 visa) since 2007 — a completely separate track from student visas. If you're searching for "Korea visa from Bangladesh," make sure what you find is actually about D-2/D-4 study visas, not E-9 work visas.
