However, on April 19, 2018, the Defendant rendered a disposition of denying the change of status of stay on the ground of “insufficient financial requirements, etc.” (hereinafter “instant disposition”).

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence 1, 2, Eul evidence 1 to 4, the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The gist of the Plaintiff’s assertion is that the Plaintiff’s sojourn expenses prepared by his parents residing in Mongolia and deposited the Plaintiff’s name into a bank account in cash through a person who enters the Republic of Korea from Mongolia and then deposited it into the bank account in compliance with its purpose. In light of these circumstances, the Plaintiff’s financial ability necessary for his/her status of studying abroad cannot be deemed to be insufficient.

Furthermore, the reason why the Defendant’s financial capacity, such as deposit balance, in examining the change of status of stay, is to reduce the probability that the relevant foreigner would engage in activities other than the purpose of stay during the period of stay. In light of the fact that the Plaintiff had been staying in the Republic of Korea for the last two years and has been legally engaged in such activities in conformity with the purpose of stay, the instant disposition denying the change of status of stay of the Plaintiff on the ground of insufficient financial requirements is unlawful.
