Kramarenko Violetta

Hi everyone, my name is Violetta. Now I'm studying on language courses at Sogang University 🥰

I want to share my impressions and information about ID and card opening~

The classes are taught by 2 teachers. The teachers are awesome, they really chew everything up and explain if something is not clear.

They even asked me to write in private messages if I don't understand something so they can explain it to me since I'm a complete beginner🙈

Our university is helping with health insurance. You have to pay 190,000 KRW.

The insurance is valid for a year, but you can apply for a 6-month refund if you only come for 6 months.

They also help you apply for an ID card through a group application.

If you don't have time to apply, the university office will tell you what to do anyway.

Group application fee: 50,000 KRW + certificate issuance fee: 1,000 KRW (“Certificate of Enrollment”, “Certificate of Tuition Payment” - 500 KRW each).

Documents:

  1. Application form (get it from the office)
  2. 1 photo (3.5 cm x 4.5 cm)
  3. Passport and passport copy
  4. Copy of visa

5.1) If you are living outside the dormitory, you must provide a copy of the rental contract. (If the contractor is not you: a copy of the contractor's ID card, a copy of the monthly rental agreement and proof of accommodation/residence)

5.2) If you live in a dormitory, you need to pay additional 500 KRW (fee for issuing a “dormitory confirmation” certificate.

Once you receive your ID card, you can also open a bank account immediately.

It is also possible to apply for a student card, which will also be a bank card, but then it may take about 1 month ~ 2 months to process the application!

Documents required to obtain a student card (debit card):

  1. Passport.
  2. Foreign registration card.
  3. Photo
  4. Shinhan Card application form with photo (available at the office)

I didn't really need a student card, so I just decided to get a regular debit card from Woori bank.

Documents needed:

  1. Passport
  2. ID card
  3. Certificate of enrollment
  4. TIN number (12 digits).

And I would like to thank the inter-K team Education❤️ They were very helpful in preparing the documents and were always in touch!
