Core Value

Let the center be a hub for connecting Koreans and foreigners, delivering support and essential services.

Vision

Let's be someone's resting shade and share the fruits of the trees to be happy with each other.

The Foreigners and International Students Support Center in Korea was established to assist foreigners and international students residing in the country. We are the first private organization dedicated to supporting international students in Korea.

We provide legal, residency, and professional consultations to foreigners holding over 186 different types of visas as they live and stay in Korea. Our center has built a strong network with various embassies and communities, including the Embassies of Ghana, Tanzania, Rwanda, Cambodia, Nigeria, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan in Korea, as well as the Ghanaian Community Association, Ghanaian Students Association, Tanzanian Community Association, Rwandan Community Association, Cambodian Students Association, Nigerian Students Association, Gabonese Students Association, Zimbabwean Community Association, Democratic Republic of Congo Students Association, and the Tajikistan Community Association in Korea. Through these networks, we swiftly and accurately convey Korean laws, ensuring compliance while also advocating for the protection of foreigners' rights.

In addition, we offer programs aimed at improving awareness among Korean nationals by providing education and opportunities to experience different cultures, fostering mutual respect.

The director of the center is currently serving as a member of the Gyeongsangbuk-do Immigration Policy Committee. They were also appointed as a human rights lecturer for the National Human Rights Commission of Korea in the field of migration (2017-2019), conducting awareness improvement education for public institutions and companies. Simultaneously, the center provides consulting services to foreigner support organizations and specialized training for their staff.

The Foreigners and International Students Support Center is committed to assisting foreign nationals in need of support while residing in Korea.
