Can foreigners buy a house directly in Tianjin?

Foreigners can't buy a house directly in Tianjin. Before you can buy a house in Tianjin, you must meet any of several conditions, such as social security payment for three years and uninterrupted personal income tax payment.

In particular, foreign residents who want to buy a house in Tianjin must first meet the prerequisite of paying social insurance or personal income tax certificates in this city for more than two years within three years. At the same time, the paid social insurance or personal income tax certificate shall not be used as a valid certificate for buying a house. If there are unpaid social insurance premiums due to job changes and other reasons, and the number of unpaid months within 24 months does not exceed 3 months, it will be regarded as continuous payment and can be used as a valid purchase certificate.

The same is true of personal income tax. If the tax has not been paid or paid back due to job changes and other reasons, and the number of months in which the tax has not been paid or paid back in 24 months does not exceed 3 months, it will be regarded as continuous payment and can be used as a valid purchase certificate. Personal income tax payment certificate can be obtained through the internet, self-service tax terminal and tax service window.

There is also a clear recognition of the qualifications of individual industrial and commercial owners, sole proprietorship investors and partnership partners to purchase houses in Tianjin. After paying taxes in the name of the investee, the tax payment certificate can be used as a valid purchase certificate for individual investors of the investee.
