Hainan Free Trade Zone Settlement Policy

Legal analysis: It is mentioned in the implementation plan of the new round of household registration system reform in Hainan Province that the restrictions on settlement in this province (except Sansha, the same below) are basically cancelled. Residents in the province can settle in communities with legally stable residences (including lease, the same below) in urban areas and towns. Residents outside the province who have obtained the residence permit of this province and participated in the basic old-age insurance and basic medical insurance for urban workers in Hainan Province can settle in urban communities with legally stable residences.

Legal basis: Article 10 of the Regulations on Registration of Household Registration in People's Republic of China (PRC), if a citizen moves out of the jurisdiction of the place where the household registration is located, he or the head of the household shall apply to the household registration authority for registration, obtain a transfer certificate and cancel the household registration before moving out.

Citizens who move from rural areas to cities must apply to the permanent residence registration authority for moving out with the employment certificate of the urban labor department, the school admission certificate, or the approval certificate of the urban household registration authority.

Citizens moving to border areas must be approved by the public security organs of the counties, cities and municipal districts where they live.
