gets his return note after submitting his application for a mainland residence permit on Saturday morning when a new regulation came into effect.
Lee Cheng-hung, director of the Association of Taiwan Investment Enterprises in Shanghai, became the first Taiwan resident to submit application for a local residence permit on Saturday morning when a new regulation came into effect.
The regulation, allowing residents of Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan to apply for residence permits in the Chinese mainland, was announced by the State Council Information Office about two weeks ago.
The new residence permits will enable them to enjoy public services and other conveniences that are basically the same with those of mainland residents.
Residents from the three regions can apply for the permits on a voluntary basis when they have legally and stably worked, lived or studied in the mainland for more than half a year.
