What we do / what we don’t
We do
- Compare institutes by intake, tuition, location, and visa-issuing reliability
- Build application and legalization checklists
- Review scans and coordinate apostille / translation
- Package D-4-1 documents for embassy submission
We don’t
- Decide admission or issue the Standard Admission Letter
- Guarantee institute acceptance or D-4 visa issuance
- Replace the school or the embassy
The school decides admission and when your Standard Admission Letter is issued. Schools and embassies decide; not an admission guarantee.

Intake, D-4 versus D-2, and what the school decides
Most language institutes run quarterly intakes. D-4 covers non-degree Korean language training; D-2 is for degree programs after a university Certificate of Admission. The school decides admission and Standard Admission Letter timing. HezoKorea prepares the shortlist and paperwork, not the admission decision.
Why start with a Korean language school?
- Build Korean for daily life and future degree programs
- Enter Korea on a training visa while you prepare for D-2 admission
- Access campus facilities and structured quarterly intakes
- Create a pathway toward undergraduate or graduate study
What Korean language schools usually ask for
- Application form and passport copy
- High school diploma or higher (apostille/legalization often required)
- Financial proof for living expenses and tuition
- Photos and personal information forms
- First-term tuition payment for the Certificate of Admission
After admission, assemble the D-4 document set for your embassy, including the training plan listed on official visa guidance. See our language school guide.
Timing tips
Many institutes run quarterly intakes. Document legalization and embassy appointments often take the longest — start 2–3 months before your target term when possible. TOPIK is usually not required for beginner D-4-1 enrollment.
