Travel Insurance Certificate

* FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

● Final Submission Deadline: July 31 (Fall) / January 31 (Spring)
You can upload the certificate to the application page even after submitting your online application, as students typically enroll just before departure.

Your Travel Insurance Certificate must meet the following requirements:

1. Your full name must be clearly stated.
2. The insurance must cover Korea (the destination should be explicitly listed as Korea).
3. The coverage period must include the entire semester. If studying for two semesters, both must be covered and clearly indicated.
4. It must include health coverage.
5. It must be written in English.

Please note: Students will be automatically enrolled in Korea's National Health Insurance (NHI) upon registering at the immigration office after arrival.
However, all international students are still required to have travel insurance, including health coverage, for the duration of their studies.
This is because NHI may not cover all medical expenses, especially for serious illness or injury, which could lead to significant financial hardship.
