"I am very honored to be the first foreigner in Jiangmen to receive the 'Integrated Card' social security card," said Komova Munira, a foreign talent, on March 6th. At the Bank of China Jiangmen branch, Munira successfully collected the city's first physical card that integrates a foreign work permit and social security card.
Recently, the Jiangmen Science and Technology Bureau, in collaboration with the Jiangmen Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, has been making continuous efforts to facilitate the entry and work of high-end overseas talents. The integration of the foreign work permit with the social security card provides a strong guarantee for attracting more foreign professionals to Jiangmen.
Munira, originally from Kazakhstan, expressed her delight, "Since arriving in Jiangmen, I have consistently felt the friendly atmosphere and efficient services here. This new card will provide me with more convenience, allowing me to better integrate into Jiangmen and enjoy the convenience brought by the digital age."
According to a person in charge at the Jiangmen Science and Technology Bureau, after the implementation of the "Integrated Card" policy, foreigners no longer need to apply for a physical foreign work permit. They can download the electronic social security card APP on their mobile phones, register using their name, work permit number, or social security number, and after real-name and in-person verification, they can collect an electronic social security card loaded with work permit information. Through the electronic social security card APP, foreigners can enjoy services such as viewing permit information, downloading notifications, and expiration reminders, greatly saving time and effort.
"This physical social security card not only has the functions of a traditional social security card but also loads foreign work permit information, providing cardholders with social security, medical treatment, transportation, cultural tourism, and financial consumption with 'one card access' convenient applications, truly achieving 'one card for multiple uses, one pass for all purposes'," said a person in charge at the Jiangmen Human Resources and Social Security Bureau. The "Integrated Card" is mainly achieved by loading foreign work permit information onto the social security card, relying on both physical and electronic social security cards to provide convenience for foreigners living and working in China.
It is reported that in order to improve the convenience of foreign personnel working in China, China officially implemented the integration policy of the foreign work permit with the social security card starting from December 1, 2024. By loading foreign work permit information into the social security card, relying on the various functions of the social security card, more convenient and efficient services are provided for foreigners working in China. The new version of the social security card will integrate work permit information inquiry and social security card transaction certificates, payment settlement, and fund distribution functions.
"The implementation of the 'Integrated Card' policy further promotes the reform of foreign personnel service management in Jiangmen and will greatly help foreign talents better adapt to and integrate into Jiangmen. Jiangmen has always been committed to creating an international business environment and attracting more foreign professionals to work and live here. In the future, we will continue to optimize work processes, improve approval efficiency, and enhance service quality, allowing every foreign talent to feel the city's charm and development potential," said a person in charge at the Jiangmen Science and Technology Bureau.
