📋 Source: 체류민원 자격별 안내 매뉴얼, March 2026, p.306 (붙임1 K-point E74 점수표)
| Category | Criteria | Points |
|---|---|---|

| Ⓑ Korean Language (최대 120점) | TOPIK 2 / KIIP Level 2 / Pre-test 41–60 | 50 pts ★ minimum |
| TOPIK 3 / KIIP Level 3 / Pre-test 61–80 | 80 pts | |
| TOPIK 4+ / KIIP Level 4+ / Pre-test 81+ | 120 pts maximum | |
| Ⓒ Age (최대 60점) | 19–26 years old | 40 pts |

📌 The double minimum rule
Income AND Korean language must each individually reach 50 points — it is not enough to have a high total. A total of 220 points with only 30 Korean language points = rejected. Both categories must clear 50 points independently before total score is considered.
