Hello, i will go to Korea in october 2020 and study korean in this language school :

edukorean.com

I would like to study 1 year but unfortunately this particular school can not help me or get the visa for me.
It's been few months now since i am trying to understand how to get this damn visa.

I can't get the visa issuance number online so if i am right i will need to go to the korean immigration office in Seoul and ask for a visa issuance number ( do i need any particular things or documents to get the issuance number ? )

And then apply for the visa at the korean embassy which is in my home country.
But due to COVID-19, the visa waiver for Switzerland passport holders has been suspended. This means that i cannot enter Korea without a visa ...

I will enter in Korea without the Visa but i will be able to stay in Korea 3 months.

Is there other things i need to be aware of ?

Thank you so so so much for your help and time.

Hello

From what I've been researching, you need to get a certificate of enrollment from the school.
This is what I found at Sogang's website about the visa:

Students receive the documents (admission letter, certificate of expected enrollment and receipt of the payment) from KLEC and apply for their visa(D-4) at a Korean Embassy or Korean Consulate in one鈥檚 home country.

Apparently, you need these documents to apply for the visa.

Is there any particular reason why you chose this school?

Hello I am n the same situation like you: I have to go in October for 3-4 months for language classes and travel maybe from France where I am from or from UK where I live depending of the quarantine.
The school I choose sent me paper to do my visas after I payed certain fee in advance.
Hope you find a solution!
