If your academic status is changed from enrolled to taken leave of absence, expulsion, or graduation, the visa, and foreign registration are expired automatically by the immigration office.
You receive 14 days to leave Korea from the date the change occurred.
If you do not leave Korea within this period, you may be subject to fines or other punishments.
Departure Confirmation
You are required to state when you will leave Korea with your flight ticket after you apply for a leave of absence.
The UNIST IAT staff will check the flight schedule and approve your application to confirm you leave within a deadline.
If you already left Korea at the moment you apply, it's necessary to show your passport and prove your leaving of Korea.
Academic Return
If you would like to return to UNIST after a leave of absence, you must get a new student visa.
Please contact the UNIST IAT and receive your visa documents to apply for a new visa.
One of the visa documents, a certificate of admission, can be issued only before a semester begins.
If you plan to return to campus, please make sure to inform the plan in advance.
