Yes! As long as you meet the age and residency requirements in a participating city or county, your nationality doesn’t matter.
Q. What if I don’t have a Korean ID?
You can use your Alien Registration Card or Residence Certificate instead. If you're under guardianship, your caregiver can also apply with appropriate documents.
Q. Can I use the support for any kind of items?
No. You can only use the Gyeonggi Money subsidy to purchase menstrual products (pads, tampons, menstrual cups) at participating convenience stores.
Q. What happens if I don’t use the money?
Any unused balance will automatically expire after December 31, 2025. Be sure to use it in time!
