The South Korean government is looking to establish an e-government system specifically for foreigners (G4F) by 2007.
According to an official at the Ministry of Commerce, Energy and Industry (MOCIE) the existing three year-old e-government project will be expanded for foreign residents in order to help them in their daily and working lives. The G4F project includes the construction of an online support system for foreign businesses and online administration services for foreign residents. The government expects to spend US$9 million on the project.
The number of foreign residents in South Korea has risen past 650,000. The move comes after requests for improved administrative services for foreign residents, the spokesman explained.
