Applying for a Korean Study Loan
To apply for a Korean study loan, applicants must meet several criteria, including Chinese citizenship, being over 18 years old, and having a good credit record. Additionally, a stable income is necessary. For example, a bank might require a guarantor to have a monthly income of no less than 8,000 yuan and to provide pay slips and bank statements from the past six months. Applicants must also submit a valid admission letter from a Korean university and other relevant documents.
Korean Chinese student loans Eligibility
Applicants need to be Chinese citizens and at least 18 years old. This is a fundamental requirement for all lending institutions. A valid admission letter, such as one from Seoul University or Korea University, is essential. Banks and lending institutions will thoroughly review the applicant’s credit history. According to the 2023 Credit Investigation Report, those with good credit records have a 90% chance of loan approval. Proof of income is also required to demonstrate the applicant’s financial capability to repay the loan.
Some institutions may require a guarantor. This guarantor must have a stable income and a good credit record. For example, a bank might require the guarantor to be a direct relative with a monthly income of at least 5,000 yuan. Loans for studying in South Korea can be as high as 500,000 yuan, with a maximum term of 5 years.
Credit History
Credit history is crucial. Applicants with good credit records have an 85% chance of loan approval, whereas those with flawed records have less than a 30% chance. For instance, the Bank of China focuses on whether applicants have more than three overdue repayments in the past two years. China Merchants Bank requires a credit score of at least 750, while the Bank of Communications demands a score of 800 or more. Improving credit scores involves paying off credit card bills and loans on time. According to a 2023 financial report, timely payments for over two years can increase credit scores by an average of 150 points.
For those with limited or no credit history, additional guarantees may be required. For example, ICBC requires two guarantors if the applicant’s credit history is under two years, with each guarantor earning more than 10,000 yuan per month. The “Personal Credit Information Protection Regulations” indicate that over 1 million loan applications are rejected annually due to credit record errors.

Korean Chinese student loans Proof of Income
Banks generally require at least the last six months of payroll or bank statements. For example, a bank might stipulate that the guarantor’s monthly income must be at least 8,000 yuan. The Agricultural Bank of China requires payroll, tax bills, and proof of income from the employer. Additional documents, such as property certificates or vehicle registration, can increase the loan approval rate by 25%. Self-employed individuals may need to provide tax returns for the last two years. Around 10% of loan applications are rejected annually due to inadequate proof of income.
When Mr. Wang applied for a loan to study in South Korea, he provided detailed pay slips, bank statements, and proof of income from his employer, which led to the approval of his loan.

Korean Chinese student loans Guarantor
A guarantor is crucial for securing a study loan. They must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident with a stable income of at least AUD 50,000 and a credit score of 650 or higher. They need to provide personal details, including proof of income and employment. Lenders often prefer relatives, such as parents or siblings, as guarantors because they are more likely to offer financial support. Note that being a guarantor involves risks, as any default on the loan can impact their credit record.
