The visa rules, the documents, and what's actually different for Pakistani applicants — in one place, in your language.
D-2 if you've already been admitted to a degree programme, D-4 if you're starting with Korean-language study first.
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.
Requirements can change — always confirm the current document list and any nationality-specific rules at HiKorea (☎ 1345) before you apply.
The Korean Embassy in Islamabad covers all of Pakistan except Sindh province, which has its own Korean consular office in Karachi. Unlike some neighboring countries, there's no separate visa application center — applications, including D-2/D-4 study visas, are submitted in person at the embassy or the Karachi office.
The Korean embassy's own notice confirms Pakistan is on Korea's tuberculosis high-risk country list: any visa for a stay of 91 days or longer — including the D-2 study visa — requires a tuberculosis medical certificate from a designated clinic. Confirm the current designated-clinic list at HiKorea before you apply.
Pakistan and Korea have run an EPS labor agreement since 2006, sending Pakistani workers to Korean manufacturing jobs under a separate E-9 visa — a completely different track from student visas. If you're searching for "Korea visa from Pakistan," make sure what you find is actually about D-2/D-4 study visas, not E-9 work visas.
