Do foreigners have to pay social security if they don't work in China?

Foreigners who do not work in China can voluntarily pay social security. However, if you work, according to the Interim Measures for Foreigners Employed in China to Participate in Social Insurance, both foreign employees directly employed in China and foreigners sent by overseas employers to work in China should register and pay social insurance in time. Foreigners employed in China should also register and pay social security in accordance with the provisions of the Social Security Law.

Relevant regulations

According to the national social security and endowment insurance policy, the minimum payment period is 15 years. After the accumulated payment of 65,438+05 reaches retirement age, you are eligible for a pension. It's been 15 years, and I don't want to renew it or I can't renew it. I can take my ID card, account book and payment voucher to the community social security office, which will not affect my retirement in the future. Those with good economic conditions and no chronic diseases can consider participating in the insurance, otherwise they need to be cautious.
