Dear International Students,

 

We hope all of you are doing well in your academic life. As you know, academic year will terminate as of December 9^th, 2016 and students are supposed to return to your home country. At this moment KDI School would like to conduct Date of Return Survey including D-2 visa expiration, dormitory check-out, and future plan for students who are scheduled to leave.

 

The result of this survey will be referred to the immigration report and dormitory management, so please submit it no later than November 18 (Fri.)  Thank you for your cooperation.

 

[1] Completion of the Study & Visa Expiration

When international students’ study period is completed as of December 9th, 2016(please refer to the certificate of scholarship), the School must report the termination of study of each student to the immigration office. And students should return to a home country within 30 days from the date of completion.

 

< The Date of Visa Termination Report to the Immigration>   For 2014 Spring_ Ph.D.: January 31st, 2017 For 2015 Spring_ NIIED: January 31st. 2017 For 2015 Fall_ KOICA, KOICA-MDI: December 9th, 2016 For 2016 Spring_ GAS, Colombo Plan, GLF, FSS-KFB-KDIS: December 9th, 2016 For 2016 Spring_ POSCO: January 31st. 2017

 

Please note that even if your sojourn period in your passport or foreign registration card is still valid, your D-2 visa will expire within 30 days from the date of completion based upon the report by the School as above. Thus, those students who are planning to return to home country around the commencement must confirm your flight schedule or should change a visa for a proper status in case you extend your stay in Korea (i.g. employment etc.). Please kindly note that KDI School do not support for changing visa.

 

Please keep in mind that you won't be able to use the D-2 Visa to come to Korea after going abroad after the termination date, but it’s allowed to travel in Korea in 30days after the termination date and you need to return your alien registration card at airport when you leave Korea.
