A few days ago, the reporter learned from the Municipal Overseas Chinese Affairs Bureau that the acceptance time for the identity confirmation of the "three types of overseas Chinese students" in our city this year starts from August 15. Candidates who participate in the 2023 college entrance examination in this province need to apply to the local overseas Chinese affairs authorities at or above the prefecture level or their designated overseas Chinese affairs authorities for the identity confirmation of the "three types of overseas Chinese students" from August 15 to November 10. They will not be accepted after the deadline.
It is reported that the "three types of overseas Chinese students" refer to those who apply for the entrance examination of ordinary colleges and universities and are returned overseas Chinese students, children of Returned Overseas Chinese, or children of overseas Chinese in China.
Overseas Chinese are Chinese citizens designated to reside abroad. Settlement means that Chinese citizens have obtained the right of long-term or permanent residence in their country of residence, and have resided in their country of residence for two consecutive years, with a cumulative residence of not less than 18 months within two years. A Chinese citizen who has not obtained the right of long-term or permanent residence in the country but has obtained the legal residence qualification for more than 5 consecutive years (including 5 years) in the country and has resided in the country for a cumulative period of not less than 30 months within 5 years shall be regarded as an overseas Chinese.
Returned overseas Chinese refer to overseas Chinese who have returned to China for settlement. Returning to China for settlement means that overseas Chinese give up their long-term, permanent or legal residency in their original country and go through the formalities of returning to China for settlement according to law. Overseas Chinese who have been approved to restore or acquire Chinese nationality and have gone through the formalities for settling in China according to law shall be regarded as returned overseas Chinese.
