Why Are ACBS Consultations Rising Among International Students?

🧵 1️⃣ Why Are ACBS Consultations Rising Among International Students?
The profile of international students in Korea is changing.
The goal is no longer just “learning Korean.”
More students now aim to:
✔ Earn a recognized Korean degree
✔ Secure long-term residency
✔ Transition into the Korean job market

With strict admissions, high tuition, and long timelines at traditional universities,
the Academic Credit Bank System (ACBS) is emerging as a realistic alternative.

🧵 2️⃣ The Most Common Mistake When Choosing ACBS
The biggest misconception is thinking:
👉 “Anyone can start ACBS immediately.”

For international students, visa structure matters more than coursework.
Without understanding visa regulations first, many students face:
❌ Interrupted studies
❌ Failed visa renewals or transitions
Halfway through their program.

🧵 3️⃣ Understanding the Link Between ACBS and the D-2 Visa
ACBS programs can support a D-2 (Student) Visa, but only if:
✔ The academic purpose is clear
✔ The institution is officially eligible

Important points:
⚠ Not all ACBS institutions can issue D-2 documents
⚠ Attendance, grades, and schedules are strictly monitored
⚠ Admission ≠ Visa approval

Most rejections happen due to documentation issues—
financial proof, criminal records, apostilles, or incorrect formats.

🧵 4️⃣ Thinking Beyond Graduation Is the Key to Success
Almost every D-2 student eventually asks:
“Can I stay in Korea after graduation?”

ACBS degrees can become a bridge to:
✔ E-7 (Professional Employment Visa)
✔ F-2 (Long-Term Residency Visa)

But a degree alone is not enough.
Your major, job field, and visa strategy must be aligned from the start.

✨ Final Takeaway
The Academic Credit Bank System is not just an alternative degree path.
For international students, it can be a launchpad for long-term life in Korea.

Success comes from balancing:
📌 Academic design
📌 Visa strategy
