The latest social security policy in Guangdong province

Flexible employees in Guangdong Province can participate in employee medical insurance at their place of residence with their valid identity documents, or they can participate in employee medical insurance at their place of employment with their valid identity documents and employment registration certificates in Guangdong Province;

Individual industrial and commercial households without employees can participate in employee medical insurance at the place of registration with their valid identity documents and business licenses.

Flexible employees shall pay medical insurance premiums for employees on a monthly basis by individuals, and the payment base and rate shall be implemented according to the policies of various cities, and gradually adjusted according to the relevant provisions of the List of Medical Insurance Benefits in Guangdong Province.

From May 2022 10:

Non-deep household registration personnel who have not reached the statutory retirement age and are employed flexibly in Shenzhen can apply for the first file of basic medical insurance in their personal capacity. Those who participate in the same month can enjoy the corresponding treatment in the next month without waiting period.

Non-deep-registered flexible employees who have participated in the first basic medical insurance do not need to pay maternity insurance premiums, and the maternity medical expenses incurred shall be implemented in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Regulations of Guangdong Province on Maternity Insurance for Employees (Guangdong Government Decree No.287).

It can be seen that after the implementation of a series of new social security regulations, the household registration restrictions for foreign residents to participate in medical insurance have not only been liberalized, but also the waiting period for enjoying medical insurance benefits has been shortened, which is more convenient for flexible employees with foreign household registration to participate in insurance.
