How high is the threshold for emigrating to China?

The relevant departments in China are actively studying and revising the measures for the examination and approval of "green cards" to lower the threshold, so as to attract more foreign elite immigrants.

In recent years, the whole world is competing for talents with technology or assets, and China is no exception. The relevant departments in China are actively studying and revising the measures for the examination and approval of "green card", lowering the threshold of "green card" and setting more flexible and pragmatic application conditions, hoping to attract more foreign elites to immigrate to China.

In August, 2004, China began to implement the Administrative Measures for the Examination and Approval of Foreigners' Permanent Residence in China, which is China's "green card" system. According to the Measures, foreign high-level talents working in relevant units in China, foreign investors with relatively high direct investment in China, people with significant outstanding contributions or special needs of the country, family reunion personnel such as husband and wife, minors who rely on their parents, and elderly people who rely on their relatives can obtain a permanent residence permit for foreigners, that is, a "green card" for China.

It also includes investment immigrants. There are four standards, and this amount should be kept for three years: 1. The total investment in encouraged industries promulgated by the state is more than 500,000 US dollars; 2. The total investment in the western region of China and the key counties of national poverty alleviation and development work exceeds 500,000 US dollars; 3. The total investment in Central China is more than $6,543,800+0,000; 4. The total investment in China exceeds US$ 2 million. The application for "green card" for technicians requires that they should have the positions of deputy general manager and deputy factory director or above, or have the positions of associate professor and associate researcher and enjoy the same treatment. Such personnel should have worked continuously for 4 years, have lived in China for not less than 3 years within 4 years, and have a good tax record.
