GZBILL Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 For those orginally from China, Shanghai has a special policy, 3 years if you have a masters degree and 5 year visa if you have a PHD. Not according to the Ministry of Public Security -- the only entity in China which can authorize permanent residence. What you are referring to is residency as in hukou. It is not at all the same as permanent residency for expats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony_onrock Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Not Huko. It is visa for those who already gave up PRC citizenship. It is a special policy for returnees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZBILL Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Not Huko. It is visa for those who already gave up PRC citizenship. It is a special policy for returnees. You are confused. Again. It is not permanent residency. I re-confirmed that only the Ministry of Public Security can approve permanent residency and no municipal government has either voice or vote in the process. There is a policy on longer residence permits, but that is not dependant on being a returnee. Before getting PR I had a five-year work permit / residence permit, so if Shanghai has a "special" rule, then it is obviously not so special.

Carl Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 The wife (who is now a USC) and I will probably just get a multi-entry visitor visa that is good for a year, make a quick 48 hr trip every 90 days to either Japan or South Korea, neither of which require a visa for a USC visitor, then return for another 90 days.

You could also try HK or Macau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
