Can I return to China for retirement after immigrating to the United States?

# American Immigration # Introduction Many high-net-worth individuals choose to immigrate to the United States in order to solve problems such as children's education and overseas asset allocation. However, there are still many questions about the future pension. Today, I would like to share with you whether you can return to China to support the elderly after immigrating to the United States. Welcome to read!

Q: After emigrating, can I go back to China to support my old age?

A: Yes.

20 18122 October, the Ministry of Public Security of China held a press conference to inform the Ministry of Public Security of eight immigration facilitation measures, which came into effect on February 18, 2008. One of them is closely related to overseas Chinese:

For foreign Chinese who come to China to visit relatives, negotiate business, carry out scientific, educational, cultural and health exchange activities and handle private affairs, the exit-entry administration department of the public security organ may issue multiple valid visas within 5 years according to regulations;

Foreign Chinese who need to stay for a long time to work, study, visit relatives or do private affairs in the local area may be issued a residence permit valid for less than 5 years according to regulations.

It can be said that it provides great convenience for overseas Chinese who want to return to China for retirement in the future. However, it should be noted that at present, the material standards for applying for a five-year residence period may be different in different places. You should consult the local public security department for details.

Q: I have become a foreign citizen. Can I still receive a pension?

A: According to the regulations, overseas Chinese and Chinese employed in China can participate in social insurance including endowment insurance and medical insurance according to law, and those who meet the conditions for enjoying social insurance benefits can receive social insurance benefits.

Including:

1. Participate in the basic old-age insurance and the payment period reaches 15 years;

Second, reach the statutory retirement age (subject to local or industry regulations).

Those who have participated in the old-age insurance for urban workers before going abroad and kept the old-age insurance relationship and personal account will re-participate in the basic old-age insurance after returning to work, and the relationship between the old and new old-age insurance can be continued.

Eligible for social insurance benefits, applicants need to go through retirement procedures in China, obtain a pension account and apply for overseas residence qualification before they can receive a pension.

However, if immigrants have gone through the formalities of resignation or terminated their social insurance relationship before, they will not be able to enjoy social insurance benefits.

Q: How can I apply for the pension qualification of people living abroad?

A: Applicants should go to the embassy or entrust others to handle it or mail it. The information to be provided includes a valid passport, residence certificate and the completed "Qualification Examination Form for Persons Living Abroad to Receive Pensions".

Previously, many overseas Chinese reported that the qualification certification of retirees to receive pensions was as troublesome as "annual examination", and they needed to go to China embassies and consulates abroad once a year to issue a "living confirmation form", which is a form that we often ridiculed as "proving that we are still alive".

However, in July, 2008, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, China held a press conference, which mentioned that it was expected that overseas people would be authenticated by Internet video. By then, the pension application procedures for overseas personnel will be more convenient.

The so-called parents here include not only biological father and mother, but also stepfather, stepmother, adoptive father and adoptive mother. In principle, the applicant's children should prove the existence of parent-child relationship. It should be noted that the relationship between the adopted children and their biological parents was terminated by adoption, so the adopted children obtained citizenship and could not apply for immigration to the United States for their biological parents.
