Residency applications may be simplified
Print Edition
THE application process for permanent residency for foreigners should be made easier to help attract more talent, the government said this week.
To ensure continued economic and social development, China must attract elite professionals in a more open manner, the Ministry of Public Security said in a statement on Thursday.
China’s permanent residence policy should be improved in light of the need for more foreign talent as well as the need of foreigners working in China to apply for the permits and lead a convenient life, it said.
China will explore grading applicants’ qualifications based on their salaries, taxes and social scores, and allow more entities to employ permit applicants, said a circular issued on Thursday by the general offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council.
For foreigners working in fields with strong government support, conversion of work permits to permanent residence permits should be eased, it said.
Restrictions will be eased for overseas students to work in China, and they will be provided with channels to apply for permanent residence, it said.
The ministry has already implemented a pilot policy at the Shanghai Technology Innovation Center and Beijing’s Zhongguancun.
