Can I enter and leave the country at will if I get a green card?

Holding a green card can only be exempted from entry visas for a certain period of time. Under normal circumstances, an entry visa is still needed.

Foreigners who have obtained a "green card" will be disqualified by the police in any of the following circumstances: they may cause harm to national security and interests; Being sentenced to deportation by the people's court; Obtaining permanent residence qualification by illegal means such as providing false materials, or staying in China for less than 3 months without approval or staying in China for less than 1 year.

First, the convenience of green card entry and exit.

The "Measures" stipulate that "the period of residence in China is not limited, and entry and exit with a valid passport and a" Permanent Residence Permit for Foreigners "are not required to go through other visa procedures; Their spouses and immediate family members may apply for corresponding visas, residence certificates or Permanent Residence Permit for Foreigners in accordance with relevant regulations.

The Measures also stipulate that "the entry and exit of articles for personal use shall be handled in accordance with the relevant customs regulations on settled passengers". Therefore, foreigners who have settled in China after obtaining a "green card" should be "settled tourists". Compared with "resident tourists" of China nationality, "resident tourists" are more convenient to carry the daily necessities they or their families need during their stay in China.

Second, the duration of visa stay

The duration of the visa refers to the time allowed for the holder to stay after entering the country. The difference between it and the visa validity period is that the visa validity period refers to the use period of the visa, that is, the holder can enter and leave the country within the specified time.

If a country's entry-exit visa is valid for 3 months and the stay period is l5 days, the visa can enter or leave the country on any day within 3 months from the date of issuance, but the holder can only stay in the country from the date of entry to the date of exit 15 days. Some countries must enter the country within 3 months after issuance, and the stay period after entry is 1 month.

In some countries, the visa entry period and stay period are the same. For example, the validity period and stay period of the American visitor visa is three months, that is, the entrant is valid for three months and can only stay for three months after entering the country. The validity period of the visa is generally 1 month or 3 months; The longest is generally half a year or more than 1 year, such as employment and study visa; The shortest is 3 days or 7 days, such as a transit visa.
