Bringing Family on a Student Visa (Dependents)
Can student-visa holders bring family to Korea? How dependent visas work for D-2/D-4 students, requirements, and what dependents can do.
If you're studying in Korea, you may be able to bring your family on a dependent visa — but the rules depend on your visa type and finances. Here's what to know.
Planning to bring family? Ask a consultant.
Who can bring dependents
Some student-visa holders can sponsor dependents (typically a spouse and minor children). Degree (D-2) students generally have more room than language (D-4) students, who often face tighter limits.
What dependents can do
Dependent visas usually restrict work. A family member who wants to work will normally need their own qualifying visa.
What you'll need to show
- Relationship documents (marriage/birth certificates, often legalized).
- Proof of financial support — enough to cover your family, beyond your own student requirements.
- Standard application documents.
Tips
- Budget for the higher financial proof.
- Legalize relationship documents early.
- Confirm your specific visa allows dependents before planning.
