The "Overseas Safety App" is an official application from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs designed to provide safety-related information to individuals living abroad or traveling on trips or business overseas.

It offers the following features for your benefit:

1. Using the GPS function of your smartphone, it displays current location and safety information for surrounding countries and regions (evacuation advisories, travel postponement recommendations, etc.) as well as travel information (spot information, wide-area information, latest local updates).
2. By favoriting countries or regions of interest, you will receive push notifications in case travel information is issued for those specific areas.
3. You can access emergency contact information for each country and region.

Operating Environment:
Android 4.3 or higher

*Android 8.0 is not supported. (Android 8.1 is compatible.)

*Due to device performance dependency, the GPS function may not display your exact location accurately.

*The Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not collect your GPS information.

*You cannot receive retrospectively issued travel information notifications via push notifications until you have favorited the area.

*The reception of push notifications may be affected by not allowing reception or poor network conditions.

*Even if the app is not active, there may be potential data charges incurred by receiving push notifications.
