You can go abroad after a few years of discharge.

This question depends on what you want to do abroad and the immigration policy of the destination country. If you want to travel, generally speaking, you can go abroad after you leave the army. However, if you want to work, study or settle abroad, the situation may be more complicated.

Many countries have different immigration policies and requirements. Some countries may require you to have specific skills or educational background, or you may need to pass a language test to prove your language ability. In addition, some countries may set restrictions on factors such as age, health status and economic ability.

Therefore, if you want to go abroad, you'd better fully understand the immigration policies and requirements of the destination country before planning to ensure that you meet all the necessary conditions. You can also seek professional advice and help, such as immigration lawyers, study abroad consultants and so on.

However, there are restrictions on working in secret-related arms when serving, and working in confidential units after retirement and being a cadre at or above the deputy division level: you must be over 35 years old to settle abroad (because you are still in the reserve after retirement)

Retirement: A soldier retires from active service. Soldiers discharged from active service are called veterans. Especially the conscripts of China People's Liberation Army or Chinese People's Armed Police Force who retired from active service. People's Republic of China (PRC) began to implement compulsory military service in 1955, and established a system of regular conscription and discharge.

Soldiers of special forces will sign relevant confidentiality agreements at the moment they enter the barracks. Most of the contents of the agreement are military secrets, such as training contents and tasks to be performed, which cannot be disclosed to other irrelevant personnel. If it gets out, you'll pay in hell. After all, the disclosure of military secrets will directly affect the security of the country and people. At that time, the social security problems and national chaos caused by military leaks were the last things that should happen.

The confidentiality agreement signed by military personnel also depends on the specific service, and the content of confidentiality of different services will be different. It is also mentioned in the national legal provisions that only veterans with more secrets will be restricted from going abroad. For example, there is no obstacle for soldiers who do not involve very important military secrets to go abroad to play or study after retirement.

There are also high and low military secrets. Soldiers involved in the highest military secrets must stay in China for 3 to 5 years after they leave the army, while soldiers involved in general military secrets only need to stay in China for 1 to 2 years before going abroad. If soldiers are conscripts and do not involve any military secrets, there is no restriction on going abroad after they leave the army.

To judge whether there are soldiers involved in military secrets, you can generally refer to the following points. First of all, what arms were you assigned to during your service in the army? If you are a special soldier or an undisclosed army, you must wait for a specified time before you can go abroad at will. Secondly, when you enter the army, the army will also make a confidentiality agreement according to your arms. If you are an ordinary soldier, you will not be required to sign a confidentiality agreement, so there is no time limit for you to go abroad after you leave the army.

Furthermore, you can also judge whether you are a soldier involved in military secrets according to your environment and geographical location. If you study rockets and weapons in a military base, you must be a soldier with core secrets, so you will be restricted from going abroad after you leave the army. Finally, you can also judge whether you have performed any important tasks. If you are assigned some secret tasks by the army during your service, then you must be a soldier involved in military secrets.

The reason why the state restricts the time for soldiers involved in military secrets to go abroad is also to protect national interests and people's safety. If it is leaked to your family, it may not have too serious consequences for the time being. I'm afraid that one day my family will say it carelessly, and criminals will hear it, which is likely to retaliate against the country. At that time, not only the country will suffer, but also the soldiers will feel guilty. Therefore, it is understandable for the country to do so. There is no time limit for soldiers of ordinary arms to go abroad after retirement.
