*Time spent after login is limited to 5 minutes per person. (Including card payment, real-time account transfer, and installation of the banking security software)
*Due to COVID19, the test may not be available at some areas, please apply for the test at a nearby area.

2.2 Pre-test quota varies depending on VISA 

In order to give an equal chance for people who have Overseas Korean VISAs (F-4, H-2, C-3-8) and people who have other VISAs  (D-2, F-6, E-7,...) to apply for the Pre-test, the ratio will be given as follows:

VISA
Test 
Ratio
Overseas Korean VISAs
(F-4, H-2)
:
General VISAs
(D-2, F-6, …)
1st
2 : 8
2nd
5 : 5
3rd
7 : 3
4th
7 : 3
5th
2 : 8
6th
7 : 3
7th
2 : 8
8th
7 : 3
9th
2 : 8
10th
7 : 3

For example, The 7th KIIP Pre-test quota is 1000. The VISA ratio for the 7th KIIP Pre-test is 2:8.
This means 200 overseas Koreans and 800 people with other VISAs can apply for the 7th KIIP Pre-test.
