Can I keep my domestic hukou after emigrating? Can I keep my domestic ID card?

See if your definition of immigration is permanent residence or naturalization.

Permanent residence will not be affected, and the account will be cancelled after naturalization.

There are two situations:

First, if you only have permanent residency in a foreign country (for example, a green card in the United States or a maple leaf card in Canada), you are still a citizen of China, travelling between that country and China with a China passport and a green card. You still need a China passport to apply for a visa to other countries. Naturally, it is impossible and impossible to give up the domestic hukou.

Second, if you become a foreign national, take the United States as an example, then you have become an American citizen. American law recognizes dual or even multiple nationality, but China does not recognize it. If you need to return to China, when you apply for a return visa for the first time, the embassy or consulate requires you to provide your previous China passport, which will be invalid and registered. You can only apply for a Chinese visa to China as an American citizen with an American passport.

Extended data:

Cihai's explanation for immigrants is:

1. People who have moved to foreign areas for permanent residence;

2. A large number of organized population movements.

The English words corresponding to these two definitions can be divided into immigration and resettlement, and migration can also be used as a general term for all kinds of immigrants. Migration is the general name of population migration activities between different regions. As a noun, it refers to a person or a collection of people (crowd), that is, a collection of floating population; As a gerund, it refers to population migration. [ 1]? Immigration is not necessarily accompanied by nationality change, including short-term population migration and nationality change.
