Dear colleagues:

In order to enhance the openness and transparency of legislation and furthermore improve the quality of legislation, the ministry of justice published the full text of the regulations on the administration of permanent residence of foreigners of the People's Republic of China (Draft Version) on February 27 to solicit opinions from all sectors of society.

As one of the most internationalized key universities in Guangdong Province, GDUFS boasts the greatest variety of international teachers from all over the world. With the internationalization of the University, Guangdong and China, there will be emerging international colleagues who are willing to join us in Guangwai, in Guangdong and in China. For more services and benefits,  many foreigners choose to apply for permanent residence which makes their lives in China much more convenient. At the moment of soliciting opinions from all sectors of society on the regulations on the administration of permanent residence of foreigners of the People's Republic of China (Draft Version), we highly recommend you to keep track of it and give your comments and suggestions.

We have noticed that many of our international teachers are qualified for application conditions, among whom have been working and living here for a couple of years, appraised or evaluated as assistant professor or above, set up happy families here, etc. Under such conditions, you can try to apply for the permanent residence according to The Draft Version of 2020 which is likely to be more friendly to our international teachers. Indeed, benefits of the policy are obvious: absolving you of applying for your visa or getting it extended, enjoying more training, convenience and services in health care, education, vocation, telecommunications, accommodation registration, finance, transportation, social insurance and so on to be more integrated to the society.

In brief, the Law is closely related to your interests. Please find the Draft Version to check if you are eligible for application. Your voice is especially vital for the process of the Draft Version. Your comments and feedback are also of high value to us! For any suggestions, please send your e-mail to fso@talent.org.cn and cc IO e-mail ete_63@126.com. Thank for your support!
