I’m really curious if they ever plan a path to citizenship, not really for moving countries and building a life there just for the chance to be kicked out when they’ve got what they want and I’m extremely old
Wouldn’t this be a good opportunity to spend 180 days - a year and see whether you will like the life in China, given the relatively loose requirements? You do need to have a STEM degree though.
I honestly think people should try out living in China first instead of planning for permanent residency without knowing anything about the country, because the most significant barriers are going to be cultural (very very different from Western culture). Of course, you can also choose to only spend time among “expat” groups.
Oh it’d be great for young people that work from home (and save a lot of money) for a visit or to learn languages, but is it a good idea for a long term living situation? Not without a possibility for citizenship, sadly. You can always technically get one through Taiwan, I guess.
The issue is if you get injured and can’t work you’re basically screwed and told to go back to your country where you may own nothing. Congrats, you’re homeless now.

Hey friend, where did you read about 180 days - year? I can’t seem to find any information on the requirements / limits from an official Chinese source :/
My application has been chilling in limbo until I read more about it
The visa is supposed to be valid from 0.5-5 years. I don’t know how it’s determined nor do i know enough about the visa application process for foreigners. Check with the Chinese embassy instead. I said 1 year because it’s a good length of stay unless you already have employment.
Agreed, the gulf states do that shit and it’s so sad. A girl I knew had a dad working in the UAE and once he got diagnosed with cancer and couldn’t work they booted him
Wish China wasn’t literally on the other side of the world. It’d be tough to live that far from family and friends.
