Starting from Thursday, the National Immigration Administration (NIA) has adopted two new measures to further facilitate Taiwan residents’ study, work, and life on the mainland, said Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for China’s State Council Taiwan Affairs Office.
Under the new policy, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan residents can apply for a temporary electronic permit valid for seven days if they lose, damage, or forget to carry their travel permit, enabling them to travel within mainland cities.
The NIA has also launched a verification service linking travel and residence permits. Public security authorities have introduced policy measures to facilitate document processing, border clearance, and the use of entry and exit documents for Taiwan residents.
Chen reaffirmed that the residence permit for Taiwan residents living in the Chinese mainland has been widely welcomed by Taiwan compatriots, significantly facilitating their studies, entrepreneurship, employment, and daily life. Authorities will strictly protect the personal information of permit holders, ensuring their confidence in using the service.
