Easier residency for foreigners

China will make it easier for foreigners to apply for permanent residence permits to attract more talent from overseas, a high-level meeting decided yesterday.

China will “optimize” requirements and streamline application procedures, according to a statement released after the 16th meeting of the Central Leading Group for Deepening Overall Reform.

“China will manage foreigners’ permanent residence in a reasonable, open and pragmatic manner,” according to a guideline passed at the meeting.

Foreign employees working in seven kinds of companies or institutions, including national labs, engineering research centers, technology centers of state-accredited high-tech companies and foreign-funded R&D centers, are currently able to apply.

Applicants must hold professional titles at or above associate professor or associate fellow and have been in China for more than four years.
