Return-visit visa proposed for graduates of Korean institutions
한국 비자·출입국 공지What was announced
On October 7, 2026, Korea's Ministry of Justice outlined plans for a multiple-entry visit visa for international graduates who earned a degree in Korea and returned home. This is a proposal, not an announcement that applications have opened.
What you should know
This announcement sets out proposed student-visa reforms; it does not open applications for the new visa. Check subsequent official guidance for the actual start date, eligibility and required documents. The proposed return-visit visa does not itself remove an individual's entry restriction or guarantee admission to Korea.
