[2020/03/10 Update: National Health Insurance Service just announced that only alien registration card is needed for buying the mask. Please visit: 국민건강보험 외국인 공적 마스크 구입 방법: 안녕하십니까? 외국인 공적 마스크 구입시 기존에는 외국인 등록증과 건강보험증이 필요하였으나 현재 변경되어 외국인 등록증만 있으면 구입이 가능함을 알려 드립니다.]
As a foreign resident (not with travel visa) in Korea, I was wondering if I am also applicable to buy KF94 Masks during the 마스크 5부제 (5-day mask distribution aka mask-purchase restriction period).
The restriction is...
1 person can only buy 2 masks a week, on a specific day of the week, depending on the last digit of your birth year. For this reason, Korean citizens need to present their ID Card at the purchase.
But does it apply to foreigners with Alien Registration Card?
Check out my video to find out!
*Day / Last Digit of Birth Year*
Monday / 1,6
Tuesday / 2,7
Wednesday / 3,8
Thursday / 4,9
Friday / 5,0
Sat,Sun / For those who cannot make it during weekdays
