Study in Korea from Bangladesh

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.

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.

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.

Bangladesh has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 2025, so diplomas and transcripts can now be authenticated with a single apostille rather than full consular legalization — a genuinely new option. Because it's recent, confirm with your target university that they're already accepting apostilled documents from Bangladesh.

Unlike the simple bank-balance certificate used in many other countries, the Korean Embassy in Dhaka's own checklist asks for a fuller financial picture: a Bank Solvency Certificate, six months of bank statements, a Tax Certificate, your last two years' tax returns, and your guarantor's income or business documents. There's no single stated minimum amount — the embassy is looking at the whole financial picture, not one number.

BSAK (the Bangladeshi Students' Association in Korea) runs its own website and is the main community for Bangladeshi students across Korea.
