If you're preparing to apply/renew for your D-10 Visa, you should know about the changes made recently by The Korean Ministry of Justice. We've summarized it for you below! 1st UPDATE: [before] Applicants who graduated from a university in Korea can apply visa with expired TOPIK scores, while graduates of foreign universities outside of Korea had to submit ONLY valid TOPIK certificates. [after] Now, ALL visa applicants need to submit valid TOPIK certificates. 2nd UPDATE: [before] TOPIK and KIIP completion certificates were the only methods used to prove applicants’ Korean proficiency level. [after] Aside from TOPIK, and KIIP completion certificates, now KIIIP pre-test results can also be submitted to prove your Korean proficiency level. *The KIIP pre-test is a placement test that assesses which level of the KIIP course is most suitable for the test taker. 3rd UPDATE: [before] Points used to be deducted based on how many times the applicant violated domestic laws within the past five years. [after] Points will now be deducted based on the actual amount of fine applicants have to pay. *Ex: before 5 points are deducted for violating the immigration laws once. Now, applicants who have paid a fine of more than 500,000 won ($370) and less than 1 million won will get a five-point deduction.
