The current offers are designed primarily for international students in Korea. Non-student applications are not automatically blocked, but eligibility and pricing may require extra review before activation.

Postpaid plans can be cheaper for long stays because they use monthly billing, stronger identity checks, and longer eligibility rules. Prepaid is easier for short stays or customers waiting for an RC, but the monthly cost is often higher for the same data level.

Many Korean plans provide a high-speed data allowance first, then unlimited data at a lower maximum speed. 1Mbps is usually enough for messaging and light browsing, 3Mbps is more comfortable for maps and standard video, and 5Mbps is better for heavier daily use.

Prepaid plans are currently shown for comparison only. HireVisa Mobile is focusing online applications on postpaid plans first. If prepaid is a better fit for your situation, the site will guide you instead of forcing an unsupported application.

Some new-number applications can start with a passport, especially for students who have not received a Residence Card yet. Passport-only eligibility depends on visa, remaining stay, plan, and required documents. The application flow will block unsupported cases.
