What is a residence permit and how is it different from a household registration?

The residence permit is an active attempt by some Chinese cities to learn from the "green card" system of developed countries, and has accumulated useful experience in formulating skilled immigration methods for China and ultimately forming China's national "green card" system. At present, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities have successively introduced work and residence permit systems in order to introduce talents. Those holding a residence permit can enjoy the treatment of local residents in work and life. The residence permit is not the household registration book.

Residence permit is a document held by people who meet certain conditions in need of talents in the city to basically enjoy the treatment of urban citizens.

After the establishment of the residence permit system, citizens who leave their permanent place of residence and live in other cities with districts or municipalities for more than half a year can apply for a residence permit at their place of residence. Residence permit holders enjoy the same rights as the local registered population in labor and employment, basic public education, basic medical and health services, family planning services, public cultural services, certificate processing services, etc.
