Can I go abroad at any time with my passport?

Many friends who have never been abroad will have this question. They always think that if they get a passport, they can go abroad at will, and if they get a visa, they are immigrants. Today, the little assistant will explain to you the problems faced by these friends who need to go abroad or "run" in the future. _

Q: I have a passport. Does that mean I can go abroad at any time?

That's not true. Getting a passport is equivalent to getting an internationally recognized identity card, but going to different countries needs to face visa problems.

A: Except for visa-free countries supported by the host country's passport, all other countries need visas to enter the country, so getting a passport is only the first step to connect with the international community.

Q: I have obtained a visa for the country I want to go to. Does it mean that I am an immigrant?

A: No, the visa only allows you to go to that country, but it is all temporary. Whether it is a tourist visa, a work visa or a student visa, there will be time and movement restrictions. So getting a visa is only a reasonable reason to go to other countries.

Q: Are you an immigrant or a non-China citizen who has obtained a permanent residence card?

A: Obtaining a permanent residence card is considered an immigrant. From this time on, there is no need for other reasons. You can settle down in this country for a long time and enjoy the same welfare benefits as local residents. I am not a foreigner at this time, because my nationality is still China, and I still need a China passport to go abroad.

However, it should be noted that each country has different restrictions on permanent residence status, such as the corresponding immigration supervision and the expiration of permanent residence cards.

For example, Canada can only renew its permanent residence card after living for 2 years every 5 years. Do not enjoy the right to vote and stand for election. These are common problems encountered in immigration.
