Daegu's Dalseo-gu is accepting applications for its youth couple marriage congratulatory grant program through Dec. 15, the district announced Wednesday. This year is the final year of the program.

The program provides eligible young couples residing in Dalseo-gu with 300,000 won ($223) in Onnuri gift vouchers.

To qualify, both spouses must be between 19 and 39 years old as of their marriage registration date, at least one must be entering a first marriage, and at least one must be a South Korean national.

In addition, both spouses must have continuously resided in Dalseo-gu for at least six months after registering their marriage and must maintain their resident registration in the district through the payment date.

Applications must be submitted within 12 months of the marriage registration date, either in person at the relevant neighborhood administrative welfare center or at the Family Policy Division of the Dalseo-gu Office.

The program may close early if the budget is exhausted.

A Dalseo-gu official said the district has continued providing the marriage grant this year despite difficult fiscal conditions, adding that it plans to sustain a range of programs supporting young people's relationships and marriages, building on its marriage-friendly policies.
