Academic Credit Bank System (ACBS) Program

A Study, Visa, and Employment Pathway for Foreign Nationals

If you are a foreign national in Korea and are looking for a way to
study legally, maintain your visa, and prepare for employment,
the Academic Credit Bank System (ACBS) can be a practical solution.

What is the Academic Credit Bank System?

The Academic Credit Bank System (ACBS) is a nationally recognized degree system
administered by the Ministry of Education of Korea.

  • Officially recognized Korean degree

  • Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree available

  • Open to foreign nationals

  • Valid for student visa (D-2) purposes

Degrees earned through ACBS have the same legal status as regular university degrees.

Can Foreign Nationals Enroll in ACBS?

Yes. Foreign nationals can enroll in ACBS if they meet the following requirement:

  • High school diploma or higher

  • Overseas academic records must be verified
    (Apostille or Consular Confirmation)

Once this process is completed, foreign students can officially register
as ACBS learners and begin a degree program.

ACBS and the D-2 Student Visa

The D-2 visa is issued to foreign nationals whose purpose of stay is
earning a recognized academic degree in Korea.

Since ACBS is a government-approved degree program,
it can be used as a valid basis for:

  • Applying for a D-2 student visa

  • Extending an existing D-2 visa

Required documents typically include:

  • Learner registration confirmation

  • Course enrollment and attendance records

  • Academic progress and credit recognition documents

Study Method: Online-Based Learning

Most ACBS programs are conducted online, making them suitable for foreign students who need flexibility.

  • Online lectures

  • Assignments and exams

  • Credit recognition during designated periods

This structure allows students to continue their studies while maintaining legal stay in Korea.

From Degree to Employment in Korea

ACBS is not only about earning a degree.
With the right major, it can also support your career pathway in Korea.

For example, majors such as Hotel Management can lead to:

  • Degree completion through ACBS

  • Employment in hotels and tourism-related industries (including Busan)

  • Application for the E-7 (Specialty Occupation) Work Visa

Recommended for:

  • Foreign nationals who need to apply for or extend a D-2 visa

  • Students seeking a recognized Korean degree

  • Those planning to work in Korea after graduation

  • Individuals aiming for long-term stay through an E-7 visa

Program Flow Summary

Start ACBS Program → Apply or Extend D-2 Visa → Earn a Degree → Employment in Korea → Apply for E-7 Visa

One-Sentence Summary

The Academic Credit Bank System offers foreign nationals a legal and practical pathway to study, maintain their visa, and prepare for employment in Korea.
