Im currently on a d4 visa, but I would wanna change it to a h1 in the future.
My current house contract is until the end of August, and I’m planning to study until December 2026.
Is it possible to rent a new room for 6 months ( September - February) even tho -on the day of signing the housing contract- my arc will ‘expire’ in December? Is that a problem? At the time of signing the contract, I still have “time” to extend my d4 visa (which I’m not gonna do, but what I’m trying to say is, at this point they can’t tell how much longer Im planning to stay in Korea) can they deny me because my arc is about to ‘expire’?
What I actually want to do is getting a new room, studying until December and when my d4 expires I’ll go back to my home country to apply for the h1 visa. I will lose my ARC, but when I come back, I have my room, and the only thing I need to do is apply again for my arc??
Can it work like this or not? It feels a bit complicated because the h1 application needs to be done from your homecountry, but I have a lot of stuff that I can’t just take with me, so I wanna have a room to leave my stuff behind..
