Has the rule of permanent residence for foreigners been passed?

Legal analysis: No, the "Regulations" will not be hastily promulgated until the public opinions are fully absorbed and further revised and improved.

Legal basis: forum for soliciting opinions on the Regulations on the Administration of Permanent Residence of People and Foreigners in China (Draft for Comment). Some enterprises and institutions, community cadres, residents, experts and scholars were invited to attend the meeting to discuss the Regulations (Draft for Comment) in depth and express their opinions and suggestions. Participants believe that it is a common practice in many countries to attract talents, professionals and foreign capital to participate in national construction and promote economic and social development by granting foreigners permanent residence qualifications. In order to further standardize and improve the management of foreigners' permanent residence, meet the needs of deepening reform and opening up, speeding up the construction of a socialist modern country, and promote exchanges between China and foreign countries, it is necessary for China to formulate regulations on the management of foreigners' permanent residence on the basis of the current system and practice. Participants pointed out that since the "Regulations" solicited opinions, the society has paid close attention to it. Some people are worried about whether the design of relevant qualifications and conditions is reasonable, whether a large number of overseas personnel will occupy domestic jobs and social welfare resources, and some people reflect that some regulations are too principled and not detailed enough, and they are worried about management loopholes and regulatory difficulties after implementation. Participants suggested further evaluation and demonstration based on China's national conditions and international beneficial practices, and improving and optimizing the relevant system design for applying for permanent residence. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Justice said that the "Regulations" are still in the stage of soliciting opinions from the society, and we will seriously and deeply study the opinions and suggestions put forward by the public in accordance with the requirements of scientific legislation, democratic legislation and legal legislation. Before fully absorbing public opinions and further revising and perfecting them, the "Regulations" will not be hastily promulgated. The relevant person in charge of the National Immigration Bureau said that it attaches great importance to the public's concern about improving the management of foreigners in China. While protecting the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese and foreign entry-exit personnel in accordance with the law, we will further strengthen the inspection and repatriation of illegal immigrants and illegal residents, severely investigate and deal with relevant illegal and criminal activities in accordance with the law, and maintain normal entry-exit order.
