Visa Documents
Student & Study Visa Document Preparation (유학비자 서류)
Student and study visas usually require academic and financial documents: a diploma or degree, transcripts, and proof of funds or financial support. Schools and consulates generally require these to be apostilled or consular-legalized and translated. Find an agent on Seoul Apostille who prepares the supporting-document package — routing academic and financial records correctly — so your study-visa application is complete.

Process Notes
- Private-institution academic documents often need notarization before they can be apostilled — your agent checks and handles this.
- Some credential evaluators require documents mailed directly from the issuer — confirm before authenticating.
- Academic and financial documents are apostilled (Hague) or legalized (non-member), then certified-translated.
- Follow the school's checklist on issue dates and document types to avoid an admission delay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which documents does a student visa usually need?
Typically a diploma and transcripts, and often proof of funds or financial support. The exact set depends on the school and country — share the checklist with your agent and they will prepare each document.
What about credential evaluation services like WES?
Some require documents mailed directly from the issuing school rather than handed to you. Your agent confirms the evaluator's rules before authenticating so the process is not invalidated.
Does an agent handle financial documents too?
Yes. Proof-of-funds and financial-support documents can be notarized and apostilled or legalized, and translated, alongside your academic records.
Does an agent apply for the student visa?
No — your agent prepares the supporting documents so your application is complete. The visa itself is filed by you with the consulate or the school's process.
