Permanent foreign residents will also be able to enjoy social insurance and purchase homes using publicly accumulated housing funds, the regulation says.

According to a circular issued by five ministries, including the MHRSS and the Ministry of Public Security, the foreign spouses or children of high-caliber Chinese returnees will be able to apply for long-term visas and permanent residence.

High-caliber foreign experts can also apply for residence or long-term multi-entry visas lasting two to five years, the circular said.

The current limit for long-term visas is less than two years.
