I believe many parents have heard, to some extent, about the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students, officially known as the "Joint Entrance Examination for Overseas Chinese and Students from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan for Regular Higher Education Institutions in the People's Republic of China." It is a specialized college entrance exam designed by the Ministry of Education of China specifically for overseas Chinese and students from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. It is also the primary pathway for these students to apply to universities in mainland China, allowing them to easily enter top-tier universities such as those in the 985 and 211 projects and enjoy mainland higher education. It is known as the "Express Train to College" and has therefore become one of the motivations for many parents to engage in identity planning.
Compared with the regular National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao), although the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students also requires taking an exam, the difficulty is much lower, and the admission score threshold is also very low. Students can enter prestigious domestic universities with a score of around 400. In the list of undergraduate institutions with a minimum admission score of 400 for the 2020 national joint entrance exam officially released, top-tier universities that domestic students dream of, such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, are all included. For the same university, compared with regular Gaokao candidates, candidates for the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students are more likely to be admitted!
Every child has a dream of attending a prestigious university, but not every child is destined for one. Therefore, for Chinese parents and children with a "prestigious university complex," giving the child an overseas Chinese student identity can help them take a shortcut and easily realize their dream of attending a top university!
So, when is the right time to start planning your identity? Identity planning for children's education should be done early! According to the current policy for the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students, the candidate and one of their parents must have obtained long-term or permanent residency in the country of residence and have resided there continuously for 2 years, with a cumulative stay of no less than 18 months within those two years. The candidate themselves must have actually resided in the country of residence for a cumulative total of no less than 18 months within the 2 years prior to registration.
If the candidate or one of their parents has not obtained long-term or permanent residency in the country of residence but has obtained a legal residence qualification in the country of residence for 5 consecutive years or more (including 5 years), has resided there for a cumulative total of no less than 30 months within 5 years, and the candidate themselves has actually resided in the country of residence for a cumulative total of no less than 30 months within the 5 years prior to registration, they can also register for the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students.
Therefore, parents need to start planning four years before their child enters university, achieving identity conversion through immigration. Interested families can apply for the Portugal Golden Residence Permit by purchasing properties that are over 30 years old or located in urban renewal areas and renovating them, with a total value exceeding 350,000 Euros; or by purchasing real estate (including land resources, residential properties, commercial properties, etc.) with a value of no less than 500,000 Euros. This allows three generations of the family to apply for the Portugal Golden Residence status and plan for the child's future in advance.
In addition to the Portugal Golden Residence Permit program, the Greece Investment Immigration program is also a good choice. For example, by investing in Greece, you only need to purchase real estate worth 250,000 Euros or more to allow three generations of the family to apply for and obtain permanent residency in Greece in one step, planning for the child's future in advance.
At the same time, the Cyprus Permanent Residency program is also an excellent choice. With an investment starting from 300,000 Euros, three generations of the family can apply for Cyprus permanent residency. Children can enjoy free public compulsory education and can return to China to take the exam as an overseas Chinese student, easily entering top-tier universities such as those in the 985 and 211 projects. Furthermore, after obtaining Cyprus permanent residency and meeting relevant conditions, one can also apply for a Cyprus EU passport.
In fact, whether it is the Portugal property investment immigration, Greece property investment immigration, or the Cyprus permanent residency program, it is a case of one investment with multiple returns. Not only can you acquire properties or land with permanent property rights, but three generations of the family can also apply for permanent residency or residence status in EU countries, allowing family members to enjoy an international European lifestyle at any time. More importantly, it gives children an overseas Chinese student identity, fulfilling their dream of easily attending prestigious domestic universities. Why not do it?
Friendly reminder from WorldWay Group: For parents who intend to let their children enter prestigious universities directly through the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students, educational immigration should be done early. Plan your identity in advance to benefit sooner.
