I. Preparation for Returning to China
No. 1
material preparation
If you want to settle down after returning to China, you need to apply for a certificate of returning overseas students before leaving the UK. However, starting from 20 14, this certificate is no longer needed for returning to China, and you can apply for academic certification directly.

We must not forget the step of closing the account.
third place
Close a bank account
When students come to Britain, they usually open a bank account. If they leave the UK, many people will close their accounts and transfer their money back to China. In Britain, closing a bank account is very simple. You just need to go to the bank to handle it. Remember to bring identification documents, such as passport and visa card. If you have returned to China, you can still write to the bank, provide your personal and account information and ask for closure. Specific methods of account cancellation can be found in official website of all banks.
fourth
Cancel the police station
Students will register at the police station when they first arrive in Britain. According to the instructions on the website (Question: If I leave this country, do I have to hand in my certificate? Answer: No, we suggest that you keep the certificate in a safe place and take it with you when you visit the UK next time. When we leave England, we don't need to return the registration form to the police station, we just need to take good care of it.
However, some students wrote to share with us that in Manchester, Northamptonshire, Glasgow and other cities, if you leave the UK temporarily for more than two months or permanently, you need to report to the police or even return the registration form. In case of violation, you may be fined up to 5,000 pounds. Therefore, to be on the safe side, you'd better confirm the relevant regulations of your city before you leave the UK.
Fifth place
GP cancellation
Just as you need to change your general practitioner when you move from one place to another, you need to let your doctor know that you are leaving the country before returning home.
So, bring your registered medical card, personal ID card and information that can prove your effective address, and report to GP!
Sixth
Cancel the mobile phone contract
If you sign a mobile phone contract, remember to pay off the balance when you leave the country, otherwise it will not only affect your personal reputation, but also affect the reputation of all residents after your registered address!
Seventh place
refund a tax
If you have worked in the UK, you can fill in the tax refund form P85 before you plan to return to China permanently. Pay attention to fill in the form and prepare relevant materials.
No.8
Buy a plane ticket
There are many websites where you can buy return tickets. We suggest that you go directly to the airlines in official website to inquire about booking or use well-known air tickets to inquire about booking websites. Pay special attention to baggage requirements when booking air tickets. There are a lot of things to return to China, so don't be overweight, or find out the price and regulations for increasing the weight of luggage.
Ninth place
Refund of tax
Tax refund is a big deal, because almost all international students who want to return to China have to buy something before returning home!
After spending so much money, the tax must be refunded.
However, about the story of airport tax refund, a thousand people can have a thousand experiences. In the same situation, if someone succeeds in tax refund, someone fails. As the saying goes, the British tax rebate really depends on personality!
But as long as you fill out the tax refund form and follow the procedures, there should be no problem. A student visa can be refunded within three months before its expiration or if it can prove that he has completely returned to China.
No. 10
Packing and mailing luggage
Studying in the UK, even if you only live for a short year, I'm afraid you can't put it all in your carry-on luggage when you return home!
Almost most international students will choose to send some luggage back to China by sea in advance, which is economical and cost-effective, and generally takes about two months. Most companies that provide transportation services for China people in the UK provide pick-up and delivery of boxes directly from your UK address to your China address. Some companies also offer group buying opportunities, which are cheaper.
Second, the prospect of returning to China.
1. Which industries are in urgent need of returnees now?
In the overseas talent introduction plans of 24 provinces and cities in China, machinery and equipment manufacturing, new materials and biological research bear the brunt. Learning the famous saying of mathematics and physics and traveling around the world is still so practical. In recent years, China's policy has paid special attention to five types of talents: cutting-edge talents, talents from international organizations, talents with non-common languages, outstanding young talents coming to China, and national and regional research talents.
Introduce several well-known state-owned enterprises, such as HNA Group. This is a well-known Fortune 500 company with a wide range of business, from design to shipbuilding, ecological technology, logistics, real estate and finance. HNA has a global talent recruitment plan, which was set up in response to the international call to solve the employment of domestic returnees. In addition, HNA has recruited a large number of management trainees and established a rotation system for management students.
2. Which cities are in great demand?
Cities with a large demand for returnees and cities with a high proportion of returnees are no longer highly concentrated in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but gradually expand to second-and third-tier cities in the eastern coastal areas and the central and western regions, such as Chengdu, Wuhan, Nanjing and Suzhou. And now all major second-and third-tier cities have introduced preferential policies accordingly. I believe that the treatment of returnees in these cities will not be worse than that in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen!
3. The unit nature of employment
Now it is mainly concentrated in private enterprises, foreign enterprises and private enterprises. There are fewer people working in government departments when they take the civil service examination. General private enterprises and private enterprises, with large recruitment demand and high mobility, also pay more attention to returnees and have certain salary incentives. Although the competition is fierce, in general, most returnees can work in medium-sized companies with more than 500 employees or large companies with more than 1000 employees.
