Japan 107th TOPIK set for July 5: what follows after the August score release

As of July 2, 2026, the Korea Educational Foundation in Japan lists the 107th TOPIK for Sunday, July 5, 2026. The result announcement is scheduled for Thursday, August 13, 2026 at 15:00. The application period for the 107th test ran from April 13 to April 27 at 17:00, so the relevant issue now is not new application but test-day and post-test planning.

Japanese students preparing for Korea study should connect the TOPIK test date, result date, university application period, and D-2 or D-4 visa preparation in one timeline. For March 2027 admission, the August 13 result date is a practical checkpoint.

Official 107th TOPIK schedule in Japan

KREF lists three 2026 test rounds in Japan: April, July, and October. The next planning question is how the July score can be used for university applications.

Test time: TOPIK I and TOPIK II

KREF separates TOPIK I and TOPIK II time tables. TOPIK I requires entry by 9:30, starts at 10:00, and ends at 11:40. TOPIK II period 1 requires entry by 12:30, starts at 13:00, and ends at 14:50. Period 2 requires entry by 15:10, starts at 15:20, and ends at 16:30.

Check venue and update notices

KREF provides test-center information by region and also posts change notices. Applicants should check the admission ticket, test-center address, transportation route, original ID, photo rules, and email notices before the exam.

If a venue update appears, the latest official notice should take priority over memory from the original application.

Connect results with university deadlines

The 107th result date is August 13, 2026. If a Japanese student targets March 2027 admission in Korea, this date needs to be compared with each university's international admission guide and scholarship deadline.

Japan-to-Korea study routes

Japanese applicants may choose Korean language training, undergraduate admission, transfer, master's study, PhD study, or scholarship routes. TOPIK proves Korean-language ability, but it does not replace academic records, major fit, financial planning, document review, or visa preparation.

Geographic proximity can make campus visits easier for Japanese students. However, relying on future visits can delay document preparation. Once the TOPIK result date is fixed, university deadlines should be counted backward from that date.
