FAQ

Most Asked Questions

Q. How do I choose which school is best for me?

It depends on your goals, budget, preferred city, teaching style, and schedule. ALLO KOREA compares options and recommends schools based on your profile.

Q. What does ALLO KOREA help with during the process?

We help with school matching, preparing and submitting your application, and getting your Certificate of Admission. After that, we give you a step-by-step D-4 visa guide and arrival guidance (housing, SIM, bank, ARC).

Q. How much does it cost to study Korean in Korea?

Tuition varies by school and city. University language schools charge per term, while private schools may offer monthly options. Living costs depend on housing and city.

Q. What do I pay, and to whom?

Tuition and the application fee go to the school. Our fee is separate: FREE at Hanyang University, US$100 for 1 semester, US$200 for 2 or more.

No. Some schools provide D-4 student visa sponsorship, while others are only for short-term or tourist students. On our list, schools are marked as “Visa sponsorship” or “No visa sponsorship”.

Anyone 18 or older with a high school diploma (or equivalent) can apply. You do not need to be currently enrolled in school, and there is no upper age limit.
