A 'mobile visitor pass' service will be launched, allowing visitors from other regions who use the Sejong City App to conveniently receive admission fee discounts at local cultural and tourist facilities.


According to Sejong City on August 4, in order to improve the convenience of using the Sejong City App and to promote local tourism, the city has newly introduced the 'mobile visitor pass' service. This service is linked to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's public MyData platform, making the previously Sejong citizen-exclusive mobile citizen ID available to visitors from other regions as well.


Visitors from outside the region can easily receive discounts by scanning the Sejong City App’s mobile visitor pass at the QR codes installed at ticket offices and other locations, without having to bring physical ID cards or other supporting documents such as a resident registration abstract.


The mobile visitor pass can be activated simply by shaking a smartphone within the Sejong City App, making it quick and easy to use. Facilities where the mobile visitor pass discount applies include major local cultural and tourist attractions such as Sejong National Arboretum, Bear Tree Park, Hapgang and Jeonwolsan Campgrounds, Sejong Arts Center, and Sejong Culture and Arts Center.


The city has expanded the range of qualification verification for the mobile citizen and visitor passes. The existing discount recipients?families with multiple children, people with disabilities, distinguished military service members, single-parent families, and those in the lower income bracket?have now been broadened to include independence patriots, war veterans, and national merit compensation recipients.


Details on the eligible recipients and facilities for discounts with the mobile citizen and visitor passes can be found in the Sejong City App.



Cheon Heungbin, Director of Transportation, stated, "With the introduction of the mobile citizen and visitor passes, we have brought innovative administrative services into citizens' daily lives," adding, "By integrating various qualification information, we will ensure that the Sejong City App becomes a core platform."
