According to the list of universities for the 2019 National Joint Enrollment of Overseas Chinese and Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan Students published by the Guangdong Provincial Education Examination Authority, this year, 20 new undergraduate enrollment institutions have been added, bringing the total to 336 undergraduate institutions and 16 preparatory institutions. The increase in available schools is good news for overseas Chinese students.
What is the Overseas Chinese Student Joint Examination?
The Overseas Chinese Student Joint Examination, officially known as the "Examination for the Joint Enrollment of Overseas Chinese and Students from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan in Ordinary Higher Education Institutions of the People's Republic of China," is a special college entrance examination designed by the Ministry of Education of China specifically for overseas Chinese and students from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. It is the main pathway for these students to apply for universities in mainland China, allowing them to easily enroll in top-tier universities such as 985 and 211, enjoy education in mainland universities, and is regarded as a "direct expressway to college entrance examinations," which has become one of the reasons many parents choose to immigrate.
New Policies for Overseas Chinese Students in 2019
As an important pathway for students from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese to enter prestigious universities in mainland China, the national joint enrollment policy has undergone significant reforms in 2018, including parallel voluntary applications and post-examination voluntary applications, and has welcomed new changes in 2019.
Key Changes in Qualification for the 2019 Overseas Chinese Student Joint Examination:
1. One parent of the candidate must have obtained long-term residence or permanent residence abroad;
2. One parent of the candidate must have continuously resided abroad for 2 years, accumulating more than 18 months, and the candidate must have been abroad for the 2 years prior to the examination.
In simple terms, one parent must accompany the child to live abroad during the first year of high school...
The WorldWay Immigration Group kindly reminds that for families intending to immigrate overseas to provide their children with an overseas identity, allowing them to achieve a competitive edge in the college entrance examination as overseas Chinese students, policies change every year, and planning for overseas immigration identity should be done early!
How to Quickly Join the Ranks of Overseas Chinese Students?
The quickest way to join the ranks of overseas Chinese students is to obtain a long-term or permanent residence permit in a foreign country. For example, through investment immigration in Greece, by purchasing property worth at least 250,000 euros, the entire family can apply for Greek permanent residency in one step, planning for the child's future in advance.
In addition to investment immigration in Greece, buying property in Portugal starting from 350,000 euros is also a good option. Investors only need to purchase real estate that is at least 30 years old or located in urban redevelopment areas and renovated, with a total value exceeding 350,000 euros, to apply for Portuguese golden residence for the entire family in one step, facilitating educational planning for their children.
Additionally, there is the Malta government bond investment immigration program, which requires only an investment starting from 80,000 euros for the entire family to quickly obtain permanent residency in Schengen countries, as well as the Spanish property investment program requiring 500,000 euros for the entire family to quickly obtain Spanish permanent residency, and the Irish investment immigration program that allows for quick permanent residency in Ireland with a donation of 500,000 euros (group donations can be reduced to 400,000 euros).
These European investment immigration programs have low investment thresholds and quick approvals, allowing for immediate permanent residency, enabling children to access prestigious European universities while also easily enrolling in domestic universities.
WorldWay Immigration experts state that the country is continuously improving the policies for the Overseas Chinese Student Joint Examination, and the true advantages of being an overseas Chinese student will become more pronounced. To allow children to return to China as "overseas Chinese students" to participate in the joint examination, in addition to obtaining permanent residency for the family, certain residency time requirements must also be met. Therefore, educational immigration should be pursued early, and parents who intend to use the Overseas Chinese Student Joint Examination to help their children access prestigious universities should plan ahead.
Through investment immigration programs in Greece, Portugal, Malta, Spain, Ireland, and other European countries, identity planning can help your child excel in the final sprint. Parents, take action quickly! For more details, consult us at: 400-138-2929.
