How to obtain and apply for a residence permit or permanent residence in China if you want to immigrate

Ways to obtain a residence permit and permanent residence in China

For Europeans, China is another world. A world in which everything changes every minute. The Chinese are forced to lead a rapid pace of life in order to maintain their economy at a high level. The government takes care of its citizens, maintaining low prices for housing and food, providing free medicine and education.

Every year, more and more people want to move to China for permanent residence. However, there are not so many opportunities to immigrate. The main stumbling block for most immigrants is the guarantor. According to Chinese law, in order to enter the country, it is necessary to provide a guarantor who legally resides in the republic and agrees to take responsibility for the immigrant under the law. Such guarantors are not so easy to find, but do not despair, as this is not the only option. Immigration to China is also possible in several other ways.

Ways to immigrate to China

Investments. "Permanent residence permit for foreigners" is received by investors who have invested more than $500,000 in the economy of the PRC within three years.

Own business. By opening your own company or a branch of an existing one (provided that the founder will hold a senior position, the company will engage in legal activities, pay taxes and provide jobs for Chinese citizens), you can obtain a business multiple-entry visa, and after four years of work, a "Permanent residence permit for foreigners".

Outstanding contribution to the state. Foreigners who have merited service to the state can apply for a "Permanent residence permit for foreigners".

Employment by invitation. Good specialists are valued all over the world, and China is no exception. A Chinese company that agrees to hire an employee acts as a guarantor and is fully responsible for him. In this case, a business multiple-entry visa of category (Z) is issued. An employee who holds a senior position for four years is issued a "Permanent residence permit for foreigners".

Marriage. Marriage to a citizen of China is the basis for issuing a residence permit for 10 years; after five years of marriage, you can apply for citizenship. Minor children also have the right to obtain a residence permit in the country.

Study. Students studying at Chinese universities are issued a student visa for the entire period of study. It is quite difficult to enroll in a budget program, but it is quite possible to enroll in a contract one.

In general, China is a worthy country for immigration. In addition to the economic component, it is a very beautiful country with a rich history and culture. Friendly and helpful citizens will always welcome you warmly, no matter who you are: a powerful businessman, an ordinary family man, or a peaceful pensioner.
