This one-stop shop will offer Korean language classes, visa consultations, and other helpful resources for international students. The plan is to expand these centres across the city in the future, making support readily available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spreading-the-word-university-fairs-abroad\"><span id=\"spreading-the-word-university-fairs-abroad\">Spreading the Word &#8211; University Fairs Abroad<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking about studying in Busan but want to learn more?

The city is advocating for changes to career-related visas to make it easier for graduates to stay and find work in Busan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a breakdown of the proposed changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Extended D-10 Visa Internship:<\/strong> The D-10 visa, also known as the job-seekers visa, currently allows internships of up to six months at each company. Busan is proposing to extend this to one year, allowing for longer-term internships and deeper work experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wider F-2-R Visa Eligibility:<\/strong> The F-2-R visa allows foreign residents to live and work in Korea for five years, but it comes with a restriction: you can only live and work in designated areas. Currently, only three districts in Busan qualify for this visa. Busan is proposing to expand the eligibility to include more areas in the city.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"640\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Study in Busan: Your Gateway to Korean Education and Career Opportunities!\"  class=\"wp-image-42307 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/cdnbloglearn.leverageedu.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Study-Abroad-Boost-Your-Career-with-a-Fast-Paced-MBA-in-Israel.-Ben-Gurion-University-Opens-Applications.webp\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/22065437\/Study-Abroad-Boost-Your-Career-with-a-Fast-Paced-MBA-in-Israel.-Ben-Gurion-University-Opens-Applications.webp 1024w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/22065437\/Study-Abroad-Boost-Your-Career-with-a-Fast-Paced-MBA-in-Israel.-Ben-Gurion-University-Opens-Applications-300x188.webp 300w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/22065437\/Study-Abroad-Boost-Your-Career-with-a-Fast-Paced-MBA-in-Israel.-Ben-Gurion-University-Opens-Applications-768x480.webp 768w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/22065437\/Study-Abroad-Boost-Your-Career-with-a-Fast-Paced-MBA-in-Israel.-Ben-Gurion-University-Opens-Applications-380x238.webp 380w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/22065437\/Study-Abroad-Boost-Your-Career-with-a-Fast-Paced-MBA-in-Israel.-Ben-Gurion-University-Opens-Applications-800x500.webp 800w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/22065437\/Study-Abroad-Boost-Your-Career-with-a-Fast-Paced-MBA-in-Israel.-Ben-Gurion-University-Opens-Applications-150x94.webp 150w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-collaborative-effort\"><span id=\"a-collaborative-effort\">A Collaborative Effort<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Busan understands that attracting and retaining international students requires a team effort.
