上海发布外国人永久居留新政策

近日，上海发布人才新政。新政策最大亮点是关于海外人才认定标准的规定，取消就业单位类别和职务级别限制、放宽居住时限要求、挂钩工资和税收。明确了工资性年收入达到60万元人民币以上，且年缴纳个人所得税达到12万元人民币以上的在沪就业外国人，在上海已经连续工作满4年，每年在中国境内居住累计不少于6个月，经所在单位推荐，就可以申请永久居留，即俗称“中国绿卡”。

New changes in policies regarding green cards for foreign talents have taken effect in Shanghai.The main highlight of the new policies is that the standard for recognizing foreign talents has become simpler. Prior limitations regarding certain work classifi cations and ranks have been cancelled and have been replaced by limits regarding yearly salary and tax amounts instead. Now the definition is a much more straightforward one: a foreign worker in Shanghai whose yearly wage surpasses 600k RMB and whose taxes surpass 120k RMB. Workers who have lived in Shanghai for four years that fulfill these requirements can now apply for permanent residency, also known as a green card.
