Hello.
This is Ciel from Famigo who informs you about the law and visa common sense in Korea every day.
TOPIK and KIIP are one of the important factors when obtaining E-series and F-series visas.
In particular, in the score-based visa, everyone often has similar conditions, so they often get TOPIK and KIIP to supplement unfavorable factors such as age or to ensure certain acceptance.
Among the recent questions that came in, there was a question that E-9 visa holders should study TOPIK or KIIP first.
What are you going to prepare first?
Actually, there is no correct answer between the two, but I recommend preparing TOPIK first.
The first reason is that it works significantly in programs to learn Korean life culture such as KIIP because it develops upgraded Korean language skills from EPS-TOPIK, and the second reason is that it can shorten the period of KIIP.
Since the KIIP program has a fixed time, office workers who are employed on an E-9 visa must coordinate working hours with the company or take classes on vacation. At this time, KIIP, which consists of a total of 6 steps and 515-hour units, is certainly a burden.
Even if you don't aim for an F-5 visa, it takes 415 hours to complete the KIIP stage 4, the highest point.
If you get TOPIK level 2, you can take the KIIP program from level 3, so you can solve the training with 200 hours.
Therefore, I think it would be helpful to prepare TOPIK first rather than KIIP program from a long-term perspective.
If you have any additional questions, please contact Famigo and we will respond kindly.
We will try to make sure that you live a stable life in Korea today as well.

안녕하세요.
매일 한국의 법과 비자 상식에 대해 알려드리는 Famigo의 Ciel입니다.
TOPIK과 KIIP는 E계열, F계열 비자를 취득할 때 중요한 요소 중 하나입니다.
특히 점수제 비자에서는 다들 다른 조건이 비슷한 경우가 많기 때문에 나이 등의 불리한 요소를 보완하거나, 확실한 합격을 보장하기 위해서 TOPIK과 KIIP를 따는 경우가 많은데요.
최근 들어온 질문 중 E-9 비자 소지자는 TOPIK과 KIIP 중 어떤 것을 먼저 공부해야하냐는 질문이 있었습니다.
여러분들이라면 뭐부터 준비하실 건가요?
사실 둘 중에 정답은 없겠지만, 저는 TOPIK을 먼저 준비하는 것을 추천드립니다.
EPS-TOPIK에서 업그레이드 된 한국어 능력을 길러주기 때문에 KIIP 등 한국 생활 문화를 배우는 프로그램에서 유의미하게 작용한다는 점이 첫 번째 이유고, KIIP 수강 기간을 단축시킬 수 있다는 것이 두 번째 이유입니다.
KIIP 프로그램은 시간이 정해져 있기 때문에 E-9비자로 취직한 직장인의 경우 회사와 근로시간을 조율하거나, 휴가를 사용해 수업을 들어야 합니다. 이때 총 6단계, 515시간 단위로 구성된 KIIP는 분명 부담이 됩니다.
설령 F-5 비자를 노리지 않는다 하더라도 최고점인 KIIP 4단계까지 이수하는데에는 415시간이 필요한데요.
TOPIK 2급을 취득한다면 KIIP 프로그램을 3단계부터 수강할 수 있기 때문에 200시간으로 교육을 해결할 수 있습니다.
그렇기에, KIIP 프로그램보다는 TOPIK을 먼저 준비하는 것이 장기적 관점에서 도움될 것이라 생각됩니다.
