Foreigners who apply for a "green card" in Beijing can also buy affordable housing.
Foreigners can also buy affordable housing. Experts suggest that traffic, apartment type and other factors should be considered comprehensively. This year, the sales of affordable housing in Beijing are still hot. In April, some people set up tents in front of the sales office of Sanhuan New Town to buy a house. In June, the number of Tiantongyuan attracted thousands of people to line up day and night. In particular, green card families have become a new force that cannot be ignored among buyers of affordable housing. The reporter learned from some affordable housing projects that more and more people hold Beijing green cards to consult and buy affordable housing.
Mr. He is 27 years old. 200 1 came to Beijing to work hard after graduating from college. He is currently planning in an advertising company. Because of his outstanding performance, he was recommended by the unit to apply for a work residence permit last year and became a veritable "green card" family in Beijing. With the green card, Mr. He's desire to buy a house is getting stronger and stronger. He told reporters that my idea before I applied for a green card was simple, that is, I tried my best to make money and buy an ordinary commercial house in Beijing. After I applied for a green card, I found that the scope of buying a house has expanded. "I can use a green card to buy affordable housing. After all, affordable housing is more affordable and will not put too much pressure on my life. " Mr. He said.
At present, there are not a few green card families in Beijing who hold similar views with Mr. He. Ms. Zhang works near Jianguomen and is also a green card holder. Last year, she bought a set of affordable housing in Sanhuan New Town. "Although the area is not large and the house is not close to the work unit, after all, the price is much cheaper than the surrounding real estate. Moreover, after several phases of development, the supporting facilities of this property are gradually complete. " Talking about her own experience of buying a house, Ms. Zhang is a little excited. "Thanks for the green card, I am a foreigner. Otherwise, it may be difficult to buy a house in Beijing with my financial affordability. "
It is understood that in the past two years, more and more people hold green cards to consult or purchase affordable housing projects such as Huilongguan, Sanhuan New City and Tiantongyuan. Beijing Urban Construction Comprehensive Development Office often receives relevant consultation calls.
Foreigners working in ordinary enterprises also have the opportunity to apply for green cards.
The so-called green card is actually the work residence permit issued by the relevant departments of Beijing to migrant workers.
From 65438 to 0999, Beijing began to issue work residence permits to qualified people, which were later changed to work residence permits. Since June 30, 2003, Beijing has issued regulations to further expand the scope of applying for green cards. Enterprises, institutions, private non-enterprise units, social organizations and unincorporated branches established in Beijing by foreign countries (regions) and other cities can apply for the Beijing Work Residence Permit for Foreign Workers.
According to the relevant regulations, green card holders with work residence permits can buy affordable housing, which is undoubtedly quite attractive in Beijing where housing prices are rising. However, many people in the industry reminded that although it is easier for foreign workers in Beijing to apply for green cards after expanding the application scope, the number of green card holders is increasing. Don't blindly buy affordable housing just because you have a green card. When buying a house, cardholders should comprehensively consider various factors such as price, transportation and apartment type.
It is understood that the green card owners who generally purchase affordable housing have short working hours and limited economic affordability. Therefore, experts suggest that the small apartment should be chosen as a transition in the choice of apartment type to control the total housing price and reduce the economic burden. In addition, since most affordable housing is located in remote suburban counties, green card owners must be cautious when buying a house if the affordable housing is far from the work place, otherwise the transportation cost and commuting time may make the buyers not enjoy the "economic application" of the house.
The unit should apply to the personnel bureau for a green card.
Mr. Li: I graduated from a famous foreign university in 2000. I have worked in Beijing for more than three years. At present, I am engaged in marketing work in a company with good performance. I heard that with a green card, you can buy affordable housing in Beijing. I wonder if I can apply for a green card?
A: Since June 30, 2003, Beijing has expanded the scope of applying for green cards, and foreigners who work and live in ordinary enterprises in Beijing have the opportunity to apply for green cards. According to the relevant regulations, the employing unit shall apply to the county personnel bureau of its registered place and report to the Municipal Personnel Bureau for approval and issuance. Therefore, Mr. Li should apply for a green card from the company's personnel department and fill in the relevant materials, and then the company's personnel department should apply to the county personnel bureau. After the information reported by the county personnel bureau is accurate, it will be reported to the Municipal Personnel Bureau for approval within 7 working days, and the Municipal Personnel Bureau will generally give a reply within one month.
To apply for a green card, you must provide academic qualifications and degree certificates.
Miss Chen: I have been in Beijing for five years. In order to facilitate my work and life in Beijing, my unit recently recommended me to apply for a green card and asked me to provide relevant materials. I want to know what these materials specifically include.
A: The materials required to apply for a green card are divided into two parts.

Second, the applicant's own certification materials, including: academic certificate, degree certificate, professional title certificate, original and photocopy of ID card; Proof of permanent residence in Beijing, provide real estate license or purchase contract of self-owned house, provide proof of allowing house rental issued by police station and housing management department, and sign a rental agreement with the owner.

There is no extra charge for green card holders to buy a house.
Ms. Ma: I accidentally lost my Beijing green card when I moved last year. Can I apply to the personnel department for a replacement? Also, when buying affordable housing, is there a difference between green card owners and real Beijing citizens?
Answer: If the green card is lost or the employer and residence address need to be changed, you should apply to the district and county personnel bureau for loss reporting, replacement or change in time, and report to the municipal personnel bureau for the record. In addition, the green card is valid for 3 years and can be extended when it expires. It is also known that green card holders are no different from real Beijing residents when purchasing affordable housing, and do not have to bear additional costs.
From another perspective, green card families can consider second-hand affordable housing.
According to relevant regulations, affordable housing will be "slimmed down" in the future. If you want to buy affordable housing with a larger area, you may wish to consider second-hand affordable housing with a room age of less than five years.
According to the policy, houses that have not lived for five years can only be sold at a unit price not higher than that at the time of purchase, and can only be sold to families that meet the purchase conditions of affordable housing. Therefore, green card owners can find such second-hand affordable housing, which saves money and is in place in one step.
However, to purchase this kind of second-hand affordable housing, you must first go through the approval form for the purchase of affordable housing at Beijing Housing Trading Center in Chengbei Li, Donghua District, Chongwen District (Tel: 67 187268), which can generally be passed on the first day of the preliminary examination, but the examination will take ten working days.
After the preliminary examination and review, you can go through the transfer formalities with valid documents at the premises bureau where the house is located. Remember to bring the original ID card (husband and wife), the original household registration book (husband and wife), the original marriage certificate and the original temporary residence permit (foreign household registration) when transferring the ownership.
In addition, remind "green card" families who are eager to buy affordable housing. Before signing the second-hand affordable housing purchase contract, be sure to ask whether the house is in the mortgage period. When signing the contract, they must also indicate that the house is not mortgaged, * * * has agreed to sell with the owner, and the property and other expenses have been settled clearly, so as to protect their own interests.
