Can I pay social security if my account is not in Chengdu?

Legal analysis: non-Chengdu hukou can also buy social security in Chengdu. However, it is only possible if certain conditions are met. If you have a very stable job in Chengdu, then there will be a unit to buy social security directly. If the job is unstable, you need to apply for a flexible employment permit at the local department in Chengdu. With this certificate, you can buy social security in your personal capacity.

Legal basis: Article 58 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. The employing unit shall handle social insurance registration for employees within 30 days from the date of employment. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay. Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration. The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
