Summary
South Korea wants 300,000 international students by 2027. And it wants more of them to stay after graduation.
The government hopes more international graduates will stay to help tackle labour shortages and a shrinking population. Graduates can now remain in South Korea for up to three years on a D-10 job-seeking visa. But building a life and career takes more than the right visa — language remains one of the biggest barriers to integration.
