D-2-8 Visiting / Short-Term Study වැඩසටහන අවසන් වන විට ශිෂ්‍යයෙකුගේ වැඩේ “class එක ඉවරයි” කියලා නවතින්නේ නැහැ.

🛂 AUTOMATIC IMMIGRATION EXTENSION

කාලය දීර්ඝ කිරීමක් නොවේ

University program එක complete කිරීම automatically තවදුරටත් Korea තුළ රැඳී සිටීමට අවසර ලබා දෙන්නේ නැහැ.

🪪 12. Residence Card / Immigration Document Handling

🏦 Korea එකෙන් පිටත් වීමෙන් පසු applicable account procedure එක ගැන ඔබේ bank එකෙන් අහන්න. All international students must close/keep ලෙස universal rule එකක් invent කරන්න එපා.

🗂️ 32. Future Visa Applications සහ Previous Korea History

D-2-8 study period එක complete කළාට පස්සේ එය ඔබේ Korea immigration / study history එකේ කොටසක් වේ. Future Korea visa/status application එකකදී අසන තැන්වලදී accurate information ලබා දීම වැදගත් වේ.

Possible Relevant History

Previous Korea entry
D-2-8 study period
Host university
Program period
Previous immigration status
Departure history
Previous visa/status changes if any
Immigration violations if any

📌 Previous lawful D-2-8 study may be part of the applicant's history, but it does NOT automatically guarantee approval of a future Korean visa.

Future decisions depend on:

New visa category

Eligibility

Admission / employment purpose

Documentation

Immigration history

Current rules

Competent authority's decision

🚨 Never hide or falsify previous immigration history when an official application asks for it.

🛂 33. Overstay සහ Immigration Compliance Importance

Lawful stay එක maintain කිරීම ඉතාමත් වැදගත් වේ. Students මේවා monitor කළ යුතුයි:

Permitted stay period

Immigration status

Passport validity

Required reporting

Address / status changes where applicable

Departure timing

Approved activities

Program completion date සහ permitted stay expiry එක automatically identical වේ යැයි සිතිය යුතු නොවේ.

🚨 RED WARNING

Remaining in Korea beyond the legally permitted stay can create immigration consequences.

Consequences depend on the facts, duration, immigration history and current Korean law — fixed penalties, fine amounts, deportation periods or re-entry-ban periods vary by case.

If a student believes they may have a status problem → contact Korea Immigration / HiKorea promptly.

🚫 34. Unauthorized Activities සහ D-2-8 Compliance

D-2-8 යනු study-based status එකක් මිස every activity සඳහා unrestricted permission එකක් නොවේ. Potential compliance issues may involve:

Unauthorized employment

Activities outside permitted status

False documents

False reporting

Misuse of student status

Failure to report required changes

🛡️ SAFE RULE

STUDENT STATUS↓CHECK ACTIVITY↓UNIVERSITY GUIDANCE↓IMMIGRATION RULE↓GET REQUIRED PERMISSION↓ONLY THEN PROCEED

⚠️ One universal work-hour rule එකක් තිබේ යැයි පොදුවේ claim කළ නොහැක — work eligibility සහ permission immigration status, program සහ current rules මත රඳා පවතී. For any employment question, HiKorea / Korea Immigration Service සහ university international office හරහා current requirements verify කරන්න.

🪪 35. Lost Passport / Important Document Problem

Identity / immigration document එකක් lost වුවහොත්, generally මේ පියවර ගන්න:

1Secure remaining documents

2Record where / when loss occurred

3Contact relevant authority

4Contact own embassy / consular service (for passport)

5Contact Korea Immigration where immigration documentation / status is affected

6Notify university international office

7Follow official replacement / reporting procedure

Lost Sri Lankan passport සඳහා: competent Sri Lankan diplomatic / consular mission සම්බන්ධ කර එහි current procedure follow කරන්න.

🚨 Replacement deadline, fee, processing period හෝ required-document list invent නොකරන්න — these can change. Always current official procedure verify කරන්න.

Students current informationම appropriate official source use කර verify කළ යුතුයි:

IMMIGRATION / STATUS→HiKorea · Korea Immigration Service
