How should Malaysian Chinese apply for a Chinese card? Where can I apply?

There is no Chinese card system in China, so Malaysian Chinese cannot apply for Chinese cards. According to the relevant laws and regulations of China, foreigners (including foreign Chinese) should hold valid passports or other international travel documents, as well as legal documents such as visas, residence certificates or residence permits issued by the competent authorities of China.

Although the China card has not been implemented, in July 20 15 and March 20 16, the Ministry of Public Security successively piloted convenience policies to facilitate the entry and exit of foreign high-level talents and apply for long-term permanent residence in Shanghai and Beijing.

In order to further open wider to the outside world, introduce more talents, and help the country achieve innovation-driven development, the Central Office and the State Council issued the Opinions on Strengthening the Management of Permanent Residence Services for Foreigners, which responded to the demands of foreign Chinese friends, expanded the types of applications for long-term permanent residence for family reunion, and provided more convenient conditions for foreign high-level talents who have worked, invested and made outstanding contributions in China for a long time.
