What is China's green card like?

In 2004, China began to implement the Administrative Measures for the Examination and Approval of Foreigners' Permanent Residence in China, which is also known as the "green card" system in China.

It stipulates that foreigners can be granted a permanent residence permit, that is, a "green card" in China, for foreign high-level talents working in relevant units in China, foreign investors with relatively high direct investment in China, people who have made significant contributions to China or have special needs in the country, and family reunion personnel such as husband and wife reunion, minors relying on their parents, and elderly people relying on their relatives.

The so-called green card is a permanent residence permit. With a green card, you can stay and live in that country without a visa. Green card is very useful for people who don't work, live or study in their own country, but the examination conditions for green card are not simple.
