With the 2023 adjustment to Guangzhou’s household policy, becoming a household in this city has become more accessible to individuals with remarkable achievements in their fields. Among the available options are the Guangzhou point-based household, educational qualifications-based household, certification-based household, and skill-based household.

For individuals with remarkable educational accomplishments such as those graduating from top universities or holding a master's or Ph.D. degree, the educational qualifications-based household option is suitable. As reported, the policy allows for individuals to hold only one month of Guangzhou social security payments for Elgibility in July but currently demands six months of social security contributions, and the age requirement is below 40 years for undergraduate degrees. Conversely, candidates with expertise recognized in certifications, such as system integration and information project management, can access the certification-based household option.

Furthermore, with the decreasing pool of educated individuals, individuals in the skill-based categories can now also apply. The skill-based household option is open to persons working in specialized fields such as professional culinary or construction that requires an official certificate, vocational qualification, or license holder. Application for skill-based households requires the individual to have worked for at least half a year while paying social security payments in Guangzhou.

Finally, the simplest option among them all is the point-based household option, where the entry is a matter of score rather than education or an official certificate. The entry process scores the applicants regarding their age, talent, skills, and more, with some of the key requirements being a score of at least 100 (now 150 with the updated version) on the "Guangzhou point-based household system and scoring table" for a single individual aged less than 45 years who have a valid Guangdong Provincial Residence Permit and who have paid social insurance for at least four years.

In Conclusion, the 2023 Guangzhou household policy now focuses on candidates with skills, those with high point scores, educational qualifications and certification-based recognition, among others, thereby providing applicants with various available options to become residents in Guangzhou.
