Anseong Expands Childcare Subsidy for Children of Foreign Nationals from 150,000 to 200,000 Won

On September 30, the city of Anseong in Gyeonggi Province announced that starting next month, the childcare subsidy for children of foreign nationals will be increased from 150,000 won to 200,000 won.

The city began providing childcare subsidies for children of foreign nationals in 2023 to ensure a non-discriminatory childcare system. The subsidy initially started at 100,000 won, was raised to 150,000 won in January of this year, and with this latest increase, an additional 50,000 won will be provided.

Eligibility for the childcare subsidy is limited to cases where both the guardian (one person) and the infant or toddler have resided in Gyeonggi Province for more than 90 days, in accordance with the Immigration Control Act. Those wishing to apply can do so through their respective daycare centers.

The subsidy is provided by issuing the National Happiness Card to the guardian, who can then pay the childcare fee at their daycare center or through the iSarange Portal app. The card company deducts the foreign national childcare subsidy and transfers it directly to the daycare center.
