⭐What is a regionally specialized visa program? This project was created because we believed that a vicious cycle of population decline in local areas, decline in regional vitality, and social outflow of population due to low birth rates, aging population , and concentration of population in metropolitan areas was continuing, and that a response was needed at the level of foreign policy. We also judged that customized visa issuance was necessary by reflecting the exact needs of local governments and regions in establishing foreign visa policies. Accordingly, the project is being implemented in areas with high population declines that are highly receptive to local residents. >The Ministry of the Interior and Safety designated 89 areas with population decline based on the '21.10 8 indicators' *annual average population growth rate, population density, youth net migration rate, weekly population, aging rate, child ratio, crude birth rate, and financial independence , and 66 local governments were selected.

The Ministry of Justice has been operating the 'Social Integration Program' education with government funds since 2009 to support foreigners' adaptation to Korean society and independence, and had foreigners only pay for textbooks and evaluation fees. However, due to the rapid increase in the number of foreign residents/education participants, the Ministry of Justice is pushing forward with a plan to partially charge tuition only for repeat students. *reference Foreign residents (2020) 2,036,075 → (end of June 2023) 2,411,277 Education participants ('20) 36,620 → ('23) 60,000 Considering the public interest nature of social integration education for foreigners in our society as a whole, we plan to minimize side effects such as a decrease in participants by implementing stage-by-stage and target-based fees rather than full-scale fees. The funds raised through fee-based fees will be reinvested in improving the educational environment and quality of education, and will be used to improve and enhance the learning convenience of potential participants. (However, education fees will be exempted for socially disadvantaged groups such as the disabled, refugees, and those who require policy preferential treatment such as multi-child marriage immigrants.) 📢 Official press release from the Ministry of Justice
