What is the residence permit system?

Residence permit is an attempt made by some developed cities in China to learn from the "green card" system of developed countries, which has accumulated experience for China to formulate skilled migration measures and eventually form the national "green card" system of China. At present, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Qingdao, Xi and other cities have successively introduced the work residence permit system in order to introduce talents. Holders of residence permits can enjoy the treatment of local residents in their work and life.

The general trend in China is to gradually relax the restrictions on the migration of urban hukou with legal fixed residence as the basic condition for settlement.

From "temporary residence permit" to "residence permit", the word difference reflects the great progress of urban management. First of all, the temporary residence permit system implies some kind of exclusion to the foreign population. "Temporary residence" means "temporary residence", which limits the time. In addition, "temporary residence" requires documents, in other words, people without temporary residence permits are not allowed to "stay temporarily" at will, which limits the space to some extent. These obviously do not meet the objective requirements of the unified market. Changing the temporary residence permit system into the residence permit system is conducive to breaking down the barriers between urban and rural areas and between cities. Secondly, after the floating population is brought into the territorial management of the actual population, it will increase the social service and social security functions of the residence permit, so that the floating population can enjoy the necessary treatment in employment, medical insurance, children's education, renting a house, buying a car and buying a house. It reflects the transformation of the government's role from focusing on management to focusing on service.
