Taking pension insurance ( as an example, foreign employees who have paid for more than 15 years and reached the statutory retirement age in China (males over 60 years old and women over 55 years old) can either get a monthly pension in China, or get a monthly pension abroad.
If a foreign employee leaves China before pension age, their social insurance personal account shall be retained, and if they come to work in China again, the years of contribution shall be calculated cumulatively.
If they formally apply to terminate their social insurance, they can get the savings in their personal account in one payment.
03
No need to reapply for entry
visa (this works too during the
pandemic).
Foreigners with residence permits can enter/exit China multiple times within the validity period.
Those with valid residence permits can exit/enter China during the pandemic. They do not need to apply for a PU letter additionally(if they got WHO-Recognized vaccine injection).
04
Reunion (not available now
because of the pandemic).
Family dependents can apply for S visas to enter China before the epidemic.

Under the current situation, family dependents(spouse and children) can thus join the PU letter application with the principal applicant. While the principal applicant is currently working or living in China, family members can lodge their applications separately.
Note:
When applying for a PU letter for family members, make sure to provide relevant materials as required.
Please confirm that all applicants already hold China- or WHO-approved vaccination certificates (except underage children)
05
Children can study in China.
If foreigners want to send their children to international schools in China, one of the parents must have already obtained valid residence permit in China, and the children must have long-term visas.
Passports will not be the only way to prove their identities. They can use driving licenses, ID cards or visas in their passports instead.
However, the benefits would not apply to short-term visa holders.

Residence permits (work) is
required when applying for PR card (work).
