The current Seoul City program for restoring vasectomy (정관) or tubal (난관) occlusion provides financial support for the entire or a portion of the medical expenses incurred for the restoration procedure, capped at 1 million KRW per person, and must be paid into the applicant’s own bank account; eligibility requires that the applicant be a Korean national who holds a Seoul residence certificate at the time of application, had previously undergone a permanent contraception procedure (vasectomy or tubal ligation), and is seeking restoration for pregnancy or childbearing—men must be 55 years old or younger (born after 1 January 1970) and women 49 years old or younger (born after 1 January 1976) as of 2026; the program covers only the costs directly related to the restoration procedure (including diagnostic and surgical fees) and excludes non‑medical expenses such as private ward fees, special meals, or ancillary services; applicants may submit the application online through the Seoul Pregnancy and Childbirth Information Center or in person at the designated health center (e.g., 양재모자건강센터), and must provide a receipt and detailed itemization of medical fees, a diagnosis or opinion letter confirming the restoration procedure, a copy of the applicant’s bank account, an ID copy, a resident registration certificate, and a privacy consent form; the application deadline is the same year the restoration surgery is performed, with a grace period allowing submissions until the end of January of the following year if the surgery occurs in December; similar restoration‑fee support exists in other provinces (e.g., Chungbuk via Jecheon Health Center, Mokpo via its local health office, Seongbuk, etc.), though the maximum amount and specific documentation may differ, so applicants should verify the local rules for their region.
