I am 63 year old male and lived and worked in China for 11 years. Solid tax record. Could I Qualify?

William, you may check the requirements for permanent resident permit for employment. It requires that the applicants should take the posts of deputy general manager or deputy director of plants or higher posts of associate professors or associate research fellows and similar posts for more than four years in a row, and the period of stay in accumulation should be longer than 3 years. Also they need to provide their sound taxation record.

I am not trying to disappoint you. Even you meet the requirements, you may not apply for it successfully because there are very few foreigners who can acquire the permant resident permits. It says that only around 220 foreigners can get it every year.
