How many times per year can carless families participate in the lottery?
2 Answers
"Carless families" have 3 opportunities per year and can apply for two types of indicators. Requirements for participating in the lottery: Both the main applicant and other family applicants must meet the requirement of "individuals with residence in the city". Individuals with residence in the city include: Local registered residents; active-duty military personnel and armed police stationed in Beijing; Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan residents and foreigners with valid ID who have lived in Beijing for more than one year; non-local registered residents with valid "Beijing Work Residence Permit"; non-local registered residents with valid "Beijing Residence Permit" who have continuously paid social insurance and personal income tax in Beijing for the past five years (inclusive).
As an ordinary office worker without a car at home, I remember that the lottery application is once a month, with a total of 12 chances to participate in a year. In cities like Beijing, I apply through a mobile app, logging into the system at the beginning of each month to submit my documents, and by the end of the month, I can know the result. This frequency sounds frequent, but the probability of winning is frustratingly low, just like queuing for limited-edition goods. I recommend looking more into the rules for new energy vehicle quotas, as they sometimes get approved faster because the competition for the regular lottery is too fierce. Always keep your ID card and residence certificate ready to avoid missing the application window. Don’t worry, keep trying, and your turn will come eventually.
