- At least 2 years of residence in the passport country or other foreign country;
- 3 years of residence in a passport country or other foreign country within 5 years;

approved;
- Application for entry into China, please refer to the annex to this section
2) apply for renunciation of Chinese Nationality
- It is possible to apply but generally waits 1-2 years for approval (because the Chinese government has received many applications for renunciation in the past few years, some applicants do not take full account of living, cultural differences, work or study in foreign countries. Eventually they apply for the resumption of nationality to the Chinese government), so the current application time takes 1-2 years (in fact, the government's internal policy to give the applicant a buffer period, so that the applicant may takes time for their thorough consideration)
- In the event that urgent data is available or if the government or embassy of the passport country proves the need to provide a waiver of nationality documents, the Chinese Government Public Security Unit and the Chinese Embassy abroad will consider or cooperate with the relevant processing time
- In general, the public security units and embassies abroad in China will accept the above application, as long as in line with the above instructions [especially the first point conditions have been met], just fill out the application form.No special data needed to be provided
