○ Monitoring provincial administration; identifying and proposing migrant-related policies
Gyeonggi Province is recruiting 20 foreign resident ambassadors until February 10.
Originally launched in 2023 as an honorary ambassador initiative to promote a safety culture among foreigners, the program has been expanded and reorganized since then to appoint Foreign Resident Honorary Ambassadors. They represent migrant residents across the province, actively participate in provincial administration, and serve as a key communication channel linking the government and migrant communities.
The term of office for those selected will be from March 2026 to December 2027. As representatives of migrant residents, the ambassadors will engage in the following activities: advising on and monitoring provincial administration and policies related to foreign residents; participating in policy workshops and theme-based capacity-building programs; and drafting policy proposals and taking part in related meetings.
Eligibility is open to adult foreign residents, including naturalized citizens who have resided in Gyeonggi Province for at least one year. Those who are interested in immigration policy and who wish to engage in migrant human rights-related activities within their communities may download the required application documents from the Gyeonggi Migrant Integration Support Center website and submit them via email by 5:00 PM on February 10.
Final candidates will be selected through a two-stage process consisting of document screening and online interviews, with individual notifications provided.
“We expect the newly appointed Foreign Resident Honorary Ambassadors to help develop effective policies by reflecting vivid voices from the field,” said Yun Hyeon-ok, Director of Gyeonggi Province’s Immigration Society Policy Division. “We will provide full support so that they can serve as reliable partners in building ‘A Greater Us, Growing Together Gyeonggi Province.’”
