In recent days, there has been a frenzy among overseas Chinese circles about the cancellation of overseas Chinese household registration in Shanghai, which has also worried millions of Chinese about their domicile. There is no household registration in China can be said to be difficult to move forward, all kinds of arguments are noisy at a time.
In the article, four categories of people will be cancelled:
- The original mainland population settled in Hong Kong and Macao;
- The original mainland population from Hong Kong and Macao;
- A Chinese who has settled abroad;
- A former Chinese who acquires foreign nationality
Among them, foreign settlement has become the focus of attention of millions of overseas Chinese. Most of the overseas Chinese or overseas Chinese have not already acquired the nationality of living in the country. So how should we define it?.
What kind of person is to settle abroad?
At the overseas Chinese Forum, some netizens said, "when I return home, I ask to cancel my account. I ask,`I also use a Chinese passport. I am still a Chinese. `The staff member replied, `you`re an overseas Chinese.` "
According to the relevant explanations of the Office of overseas Chinese Affairs:
- Citizen of China has obtained the right of permanent or permanent residence in the country of residence and has resided in the country of residence for two consecutive years, with a cumulative residence of not less than 18 months within two years.
- Although China`s citizen does not have long-term or permanent residence in the State, it has obtained the legal residence qualification for more than five years (including 5 years) in the State, and the accumulated residence time in the State in the last five years is not less than 30 months, which is regarded as an overseas Chinese
In other words, as long as the overseas residents who meet the above requirements will be regarded as "overseas Chinese" who have settled overseas.
Cancellation of accounts and retention of nationality
One of the most important concerns of many overseas Chinese is which country is their nationality after the cancellation of their hukou? It should be explained here that household registration and nationality are different from relationship. Cancelled account, nationality still exists, but change nationality, account must be gone.
Some overseas Chinese have obtained foreign green cards, but they have not yet acquired foreign nationality. At this time, they still belong to "Chinese", only when overseas Chinese acquire the nationality of living in the country. Will officially become a "foreigner".
If you cancel your account in the case of holding a green card, you can also restore your account. However, after recovery, there is still no long-term residence in the country, or it is possible to be cancelled again. Because hukou is used to prove that the holder is a resident population, since it is not a local resident population, there is no need to retain the account.
Cancellation of account and passport replacement
After cancelling their hukou, overseas Chinese will prove that their biggest identity certificate will be a Chinese passport. Although overseas Chinese do not have a hukou, they can still take high-speed rail and aircraft in China by virtue of their passports. Behavior that requires identity registration, such as staying in a hotel.
If the passport expires, Chinese who settle abroad only need to provide overseas green cards and old passports to replace them, and do not need to provide their household registration information.
If the old passport is lost, it is necessary to issue a "household registration certificate" at the police station to replace the original resident household book, ID card to re-apply for the passport.
Cancellation of account and application for pension
Before some Chinese went abroad, they all had work experience in China, and also paid pension according to the regulations. Some Chinese have retired and been sent to live abroad by their children. Can pension be accepted?.
The answer is yes.
According to the response of the relevant departments, "if you settle abroad before retirement, the social security relationship will be terminated, and the previously paid pension will be returned to your personal account in full." If you settle abroad after retirement, you only need to provide an `certificate of survival` each year and you can receive pension every month. "
So overseas Chinese don`t have to worry about what they can`t get from pension.
Cancellation of accounts and real estate purchases
Hukou and buying a house are two things that the Chinese value very much. Shanghai, which announced the new rules, is a place where many people are flocking to it. Shanghai hukou and real estate are how expensive, domestic partners must know. So what happens to the real estate in Shanghai after canceling the account?
Because of the age of Shanghai, some house are proved by using "room card" instead of real estate. In some parts of Shanghai, the old house is called "Shiku concierge". These old house belong to the ownership according to their hukou. If the household registration is cancelled, the ownership of these old house will also be lost, knowing that house prices in central Shanghai are now hundreds or even tens of millions, and some immigrants fear that their house will be lost.
If you prove that house belongs to house according to real estate certificate, as long as you buy house before you settle abroad, even if you cancel your account, real estate still belongs to you. However, if you do not buy a house when you settle abroad, it is tantamount to a foreigner buying a house in Shanghai after the hukou is written off. How much gap between this is self-evident.
Cancel your account after entering a foreign country
Unlike the acquisition of a green card, admission to foreign nationality is considered automatic renunciation of Chinese nationality, and hukou will naturally be cancelled. In the early years, the domestic grasp in this respect was very loose, so many people have "two nationalities" of colleagues, which is also known as the "gray area".
Starting this year, China has also taken strict measures against "dual nationality," and the household registration of Chinese who have acquired foreign ancient nationality in the country will be cancelled. Customs will use high-tech means such as fingerprints to determine whether overseas Chinese have acquired overseas nationality. If the foreign Chinese do not cancel their household registration, they will be restricted to leave the country until the household registration is cancelled. Chinese who are found to have acquired foreign nationals overseas will automatically cancel their household registration.
Just apply for a green card or long-term right of abode abroad, and you don`t need to enter fingerprints overseas when you return home.
How to restore Chinese nationality
Although only a small number, but still some people after moving overseas regret, want to restore Chinese nationality. Unfortunately, it is not easy to acquire overseas nationality, and it is even more difficult to return to China!
It`s said that the green card in the United States is not good, but the most difficult in the world is China`s green card. The figures show that only a few hundred people can get the Chinese green card, but the number of applicants is far higher than the number of people.
The conditions for the restoration of Chinese nationality in accordance with the provisions are as follows:
1. Foreign Chinese or ethnic Chinese who originally have Chinese nationality;
2. There should be legitimate reasons: for work reasons, having close relatives of Chinese nationality (close relatives only refer to spouses, parents, children, siblings, etc.);
3. Have certain economic capacity and housing conditions
Although there are only three conditions, the number of people who can restore Chinese nationality is also small, and only a few hundred people have returned to Chinese nationality in more than 60 years, making it more difficult to acquire Chinese nationality than American nationality.
If overseas Chinese want to restore their Chinese nationality, the following documents shall be submitted to overseas China EMBASSY:
1. Application form for the restoration of the nationality of the people`s Republic of China;
(2) A copy of the passport of the foreign applicant;

All materials must be A4 paper, in duplicate; foreign materials, including foreign passports, must be translated by an interpreter approved by the entry and exit control department of the public security organ
Will household registration in other areas be affected
At present, this household registration cancellation is limited to Shanghai, the non-Shanghai population will not be affected. That is to say, if you are from Beijing, this time the household registration adjustment will not affect you, and this time the household registration cancellation policy is not said to be "Shanghai pilot," the relevant household registration cancellation policy has been implemented in Shanghai for many years. It`s just that this year it`s more stringent.
At present, there will be two cases of policy.
First, if the public rebounds strongly, it is possible to slow down the policy after a period of time. Early international students going abroad will be seen as abandoning Chinese nationality, cancelled after a period of implementation because of a strong rebound. However, the country has tightened the censorship system for overseas immigrants, so the household registration cancellation policy will not be cancelled, but will slow down.
Second, other cities follow the Shanghai policy. Although this is not a "pilot policy", some big cities will be bound to tighten household registration, attract high talent on the one hand, and clean the invalid population on the other. In the future, the clean-up of the population will also become a national policy, and for overseas Chinese, consider the advantages and disadvantages of domestic and foreign nationality.
