The people who need to be dealt with are roughly divided into two categories: overseas Chinese and foreign overseas Chinese.
First of all, if you are overseas Chinese,
It's more convenient to settle down as an overseas Chinese, because you haven't given up your nationality in China, so your return to China is smooth and unimpeded, but "returning to China to settle down" also requires certain conditions.
According to the Regulations of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council on Defining the Identity of Overseas Chinese, Overseas Chinese and Returned Overseas Chinese and Their Families, "returning to China for settlement" means that overseas Chinese give up their long-term, permanent or legal right of abode in their country of origin and go through the formalities of returning to China for settlement according to law.
If you didn't cancel your household registration before going abroad, you can skip this item, because the most important thing in the procedure of "returning to China to settle down" is to settle down.
Second, overseas Chinese
Specifically, the following three conditions must be met:
1. Voluntary renunciation of foreign residency.
In other words, if you get a long-term, permanent or legal residence status in a foreign country, you must give it up. If you want to keep your foreign permanent residence status and live permanently in China, according to the current laws and regulations, this procedure should not be done.
2. Have a legally fixed residence.
Legally fixed residence refers to the house where I or my immediate family members have corresponding certificates to provide the ownership or use right of the house to be inhabited.
3. Have a stable life guarantee.
A stable living guarantee refers to the economic income or deposit that ensures my normal life.
If you are a foreign Chinese, according to the current laws in China, the procedures for permanent residence are basically the same as those for ordinary foreign citizens, but we still have certain advantages in Chinese identity.
Attention! ! !
According to the current Administrative Measures for Examination and Approval of Permanent Residence of Foreigners in China, first of all, you must abide by the laws of China, be healthy and have no criminal record.
Five conditions for applying for permanent residence in China:
Overseas Chinese businessmen
Foreigners who have made direct investment in China, have made stable investment for three consecutive years and have a good tax payment record.
Specifically, there are some specific requirements for investing in China:

(3) The total investment in Central China is more than US$ 6,543,800+0,000;
