Foreign individuals who have worked or studied in China for more than one year may purchase commodity housing for their own use and residence that meets their actual needs, and may not purchase housing that is not for their own use or residence.

Foreign institutions with branches or representative offices in China may only purchase non-residential premises needed for office purposes in the city of registration.

(Note: Specific implementation standards vary by city; some cities impose additional purchase restrictions on foreign individuals such as social insurance or tax payment requirements. Consult the local real estate registration authority before purchasing.)

境外个人在境内工作、学习时间超过一年的，可以购买符合实际需要的自用、自住商品房，不得购买非自用、非自住商品房。

在境内设立分支、代表机构的境外机构只能在注册城市购买办公所需的非住宅房屋。

（注：具体执行标准因城市而异，部分城市对境外个人购房另有社保或纳税年限等限购要求。购房前应咨询当地不动产登记部门。）
