Post-immigration power

Getting a green card only means getting permanent residency in that country, but enjoying permanent residency does not mean that you are a citizen of this country. It just means that you, a foreign citizen, have the right to live permanently in that country, but it doesn't mean to immigrate.

Immigrants are people who give up their original nationality and move to another country to become citizens of this country (some foreign countries support dual nationality, but China does not). Once China people turn to foreign nationality, they will be deemed to have automatically renounced China nationality), so green card and immigration are two concepts.

In the process of emigrating overseas before obtaining a "green card", many countries generally issue a "residence card" or a "temporary green card" first. After holding a residence card to meet certain conditions, it can be upgraded to a green card, that is, a "permanent residence card".

A green card is a permanent residence visa. Having a green card does not mean that you have joined the nationality of this country. Therefore, holding a green card in this country is only convenient for entry and exit, and you can't enjoy visa-free treatment in this country.

Extended data

The identity corresponding to "green card" is "permanent residence". The term "green card" originated in America, because the early permanent residence card in America was a small green card. Today, "green card" has been extended to mean "permanent residence".

We also habitually refer to the permanent residency of all countries as "green cards", but there are different names in other countries, such as "Maple Leaf Card" in Canada and "Landing Card" in Japan.

The purpose of emigrating overseas green card:

1. Live, study and work in the green card issuing country for a long time. It is worth noting that some green cards are not allowed to work in the local area but can be used for business, so be sure to understand them clearly before handling them.

2. Apply for an international school: domestic and international schools generally need a foreign green card or nationality to apply.

3. Enjoy the same welfare treatment as local people, except political rights.

4. Another advantage of the green card for European Schengen countries is that you can enter other Schengen countries without a visa (Schengen countries only).
