On the morning of January 15, Hunan Province held an issuing ceremony for a new type of social security card embedded with foreigner work permit information. At the ceremony, Henry from South Africa was issued the province's first integrated foreigner's work permit and social security card, known as the "Join in Card." Also in attendance were spokespersons for the Hunan Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, the Hunan Provincial Department of Science and Technology, and other relevant departments.

In recent years, Hunan has actively implemented policies promoting a higher level of opening up to attract more overseas high-level talents. Meanwhile, the province has issued social security cards with improved functions, providing convenient services for foreigners working and living in Hunan.

With the new card, foreigners can participate in China's social insurance scheme; apply for residence permits; deal with cash deposits, withdrawals, and transfers; make payments; and, inquire about and download work permit information. The card also allows expats to access public services in eight sectors such as human resources and social security services, transport, cultural experience, tourism, medical treatment and drug purchasing, government services, trade union services, and life services. The initiative will further enhance Hunan's appeal to international talents and will strengthen the talent support for modernization.
