Can I retain my original Chinese nationality while holding an Australian green card?

Another major reason why many overseas Chinese do not become Australian citizens is that China does not recognize dual nationality! Retaining Chinese nationality is also very convenient for returning to China. Although many Chinese have lived abroad for a long time, their roots are in China and they still have close contacts with their relatives in the mainland. Or they have been doing business in the mainland for a long time and need to travel to China multiple times every year. In this case, holding an Australian green card will be much more convenient than holding an Australian passport, and you can avoid the trouble of applying for a Chinese visa.

Precisely because the Australian green card does not affect the holder's enjoyment of most local rights, nor does it affect the freedom to enter and exit China and Australia at any time, many Chinese do not choose to naturalize after eventually immigrating to Australia! Warm reminder: Chinese who have obtained a green card by applying for Australian investment immigration will hold a green card for 5 years and need to renew it after 5 years. Among them, the applicant must also meet the requirement of living in Australia for a total of 2 years within 5 years. residency requirements.

If you cannot meet these requirements, but can prove that you have close ties with Australia and are beneficial to Australia, you can also renew your green card!
