What's the difference between a long-term immigrant visa and a long-term immigrant residence?

In order to distinguish the difference between long-term visa and long-term residence, we need to understand the concepts of long-term visa and long-term residence first. Long visa can generally be expressed as the abbreviation of long-term round-trip visa. And permanent residence, in the normative sense, is the right of permanent residence.

As can be seen from the concepts of the two, there is still a difference between long-term signing and long-term residence. A long-term round-trip visa, within the validity period, is a kind of pass, which can be divided into 1 year, 5 years and 10 year. For example, the holder of the long-term round-trip visa in the United States can travel to and from the United States many times within 10 year.

Permanent residence, as a permanent residence visa, is a proof of the permanent resident status of the country where the immigrants live. You can freely enter and leave the immigration country, legally live in the immigration country, and enjoy most of the welfare benefits of the immigration country. Of course, you are still a citizen of China and China. If you want to become a citizen of an immigrant country, you need to meet certain conditions to be naturalized and get a passport.
