The visa can be upgraded to a permanent F-5 residence visa after five years. The government first introduced the program on the southern resort island of Jeju in 2010 to promote the domestic investment of foreign capital and revitalize the local economy.

According to the ministry and local governments, the implementation period of the property investment immigration system in four regions — Jeju; Incheon’s Songdo, Yeongjong and Cheongna districts; Pyeongchang’s Alpensia; and Yeosu’s Gyeongdo — has been extended to April 30, 2026, following its expiry on Sunday.

Festival set for this week to move beyond conflict over Jeju naval base

The Navy, provincial authorities and local residents will hold a festival in and around a naval base on the southern resort island of Jeju later this week to promote harmony among them after a period of conflict over its construction, the armed service said Monday.

The festival, called the Day of Ilgangjeong, is set to take place in the fishing town of Gangjeong, now home to the Navy’s Maritime Task Flotilla Seven, from Friday to Sunday. Ilgangjeong means “Gangjeong is the best” in local language.

A consultative group consisting of the representatives from the three sides organized the festival consisting of various events, including opening to the public the base and three naval vessels on Friday and Saturday, according to the Navy.

Gangjeong was announced as the site for the base in 2007, touching off protests from residents and activists. They argued the construction could undermine the local environment, tarnish Jeju’s 2005 designation as an “Island of World Peace” and hurt its tourism.

The government authorities completed its construction in 2016 as they highlighted the need for the base to handle potential contingencies in waters off the country’s southern coast and carry out other missions.

“All of us — the private sector, government and military — will make efforts to ensure we can wash away the remnants of the conflict on the occasion of this event and continue genuine co-existence and harmony,” the consultative group was quoted as saying.

The festival also includes a parade by a military band and honor guard as well as a musical concert and a “friendship” soccer game.

Chairman of the West Java Labor Union Muhammad Sidarta stated that May Day will be celebrated in the midst of collective leave during the Eid al-Fitr holiday to echo the workers’ aspirations and demands. “I am convinced that all workers in Indonesia are calling on the exact same demand that the Job Creation Law be revoked,” he noted. He stressed that the ruling of the Constitutional Court had deemed that the formation of Law Number 11 of 2022 on Job Creation is inconsistent with the 1945 Constitution. “Moreover, workers refused an up to 25-percent deduction in wages, as it would further suppress the existing low wages. We have witnessed no increases in wages in the past three years. However, when there is an increase, it could be cut by up to 25 percent. This is apprehensive,” he remarked. ccording to Sidarta, the deduction provision is regulated by Manpower Minister’s Regulation Number 5 of 2023 on Adjustment of Work Hours and Wages in Certain Export-oriented Labor-intensive Companies. baca-jugaRelated news: President always builds deep communication with workers: KSPRelated news: National Police anticipates May Day action in four regionsRelated news: Manpower Ministry organizes futsal league to mark May Day
