Overseas individuals working or studying in China may buy housing for their own actual residential needs under the applicable rules. The old nationwide one-year work/study condition should not be presented as current after the 2015 policy adjustment. Check local purchase limits, permitted number of homes, identity documents and foreign-exchange payment requirements before signing.

在中国工作、学习的境外个人，可按规定购买符合实际需要的自用、自住商品房。2015年政策调整后，不能再把旧有的“工作或学习满一年”表述为全国统一现行门槛。购房套数、当地限购、身份证明及外汇付款材料须向房屋所在地主管部门核对后再签约。
