Previously,<\/strong>\u00a0dividends and bonuses received by foreign individuals from foreign-invested enterprises were\u00a0temporarily exempt<\/strong>\u00a0from Individual Income Tax.<\/p>\n

From\u00a0September 1, 2026<\/strong>, this exemption no longer applies. Such income is now taxed as\u00a0\u201cincome from interest, dividends and bonuses\u201d at a rate of 20%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. \u00a0PR for Ethnic Chinese:\u00a0<\/strong>Only ONE Former Chinese Passport Now Required<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ethnic Chinese applicants who previously held Chinese citizenship were generally required to submit all their former Chinese passports when applying for Chinese permanent residence.<\/p>\n

Under the latest requirement, applicants only need to provide\u00a0one of their former Chinese passports<\/strong>, rather than their complete passport history.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0PR: Former Taiwan Residents May Apply with Proof of Nationality Loss<\/strong><\/h2>\n

4. \u00a0PR: Korean Applicants Need Passport\u2013ID Identity Proof<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Korean nationals applying for Chinese permanent residence\u00a0need to provide an additional Certificate of Passport Issuance<\/strong>\u00a0issued by a Korean consulate in China. The certificate needs to list the applicant\u2019s\u00a0Korean resident registration number<\/strong>\u00a0and the numbers of\u00a0all Korean passports issued in their name.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is because Korean non-criminal record(NCR) and certain other official documents follow a fixed format that shows only the applicant\u2019s Korean resident registration number instead of their passport number.<\/p>\n

The additional certificate links these Korean documents to the applicant\u2019s passports, confirming that\u00a0the person named in the NCR<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0the passport holder<\/strong>\u00a0are\u00a0the same person<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When an academic qualification is used for a Foreigner\u2019s Work Permit application, the certificate must clearly state the degree level, such as\u00a0Bachelor\u2019s or Master\u2019s<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
