After the closure, Hainan is becoming a 'hotcake' in the eyes of global talent, thanks to a series of stacked policy dividends. From the entry convenience of 86 countries with visa-free access to the efficiency of obtaining permits in 4 days; from the 'double 15%' tax incentives to the mutual recognition of overseas professional qualifications, Hainan has built a comprehensive and multi-level talent attraction system through the systematic integration of policies, making it highly attractive to global talent.
The policy of entry convenience is the 'first threshold' for attracting foreign talent. Since the implementation of the visa-free policy for 59 countries in 2018, Hainan has continuously expanded the scope of visa exemptions, achieving 240 hours of visa-free transit at Meilan Airport and 144 hours of visa-free entry for foreign tourist groups from Hong Kong and Macau by 2024. Currently, citizens of 86 countries can enter Hainan without a visa, with policy advantages ranking among the top in the country. Pan Jian, deputy director of Meilan Border Inspection Station, stated, 'After the closure, it will be more convenient for foreigners to come to Hainan, greatly facilitating the two-way flow of talent.'
Tax incentives are the core competitiveness of Hainan in attracting talent. After the customs closure, Hainan levies a corporate income tax at a reduced rate of 15% for enterprises in encouraged industries that are registered and substantively operating in the free trade port; for high-end and scarce talents working in Hainan, the portion of personal income tax that exceeds a tax burden of 15% is exempted. For high-income international talents, this means considerable growth in post-tax income; for foreign-funded enterprises, it significantly reduces operating costs, indirectly driving the demand for high-end positions.
The mutual recognition policy for overseas professional qualifications addresses the practice difficulties of international talents. So far, Hainan has signed mutual recognition agreements for professional qualifications with free trade ports such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai, achieving cross-border recognition for 18 types of professional qualifications, including certified public accountants, architects, and doctors. This means that international professionals can practice in Hainan without needing to retake qualifications, greatly reducing their career transition costs. Müller, an expert in new energy vehicles from Germany, frankly stated, 'The mutual recognition of professional qualifications has alleviated my concerns, allowing me to devote myself fully to work.'
In addition, Hainan has established an international talent innovation and entrepreneurship fund with a scale of 10 billion yuan, providing up to 50 million yuan in funding for eligible projects; it promotes 'one-stop' foreign-related services, offering full-process support for foreign talents in obtaining work permits, residence processing, and life integration. The combined efforts of these policies have created a strong talent magnet in Hainan, attracting global talents to pursue their dreams.@男神说币 #加密市场观察 $BTC
