I come from China, with Belgian nationality, and now I want to go back to China for development. How to apply for permanent residence in China? China has relatives.

First of all, China does not accept dual nationality, that is, if you have Belgian nationality, you are no longer from China. Please call yourself from China. So as not to cause misunderstanding among people you don't know.

Second, there are three formal ways to stay in an unregistered country for a long time:

One: acquire the nationality of the country. Unfortunately, China is not an immigrant country, so you can't get China nationality as a foreigner, that is, you can go out but not enter.

Two: obtain the permanent residency of the country. The concrete proof of permanent residency is the "green card" of the United States and the "maple leaf card" of Canada. At the same time, obtaining permanent residency means obtaining the same civil rights as citizens (except the right to vote and to be elected). During the three years from China's "green card" in 2004 to 2007, only 200 people obtained the "green card" of China, and in 2007, there were 34,753 foreigners working in Shanghai alone. In fact, the conditions of China's "green card" are harsh, and the application rejection rate is too high (as of 2009, 60 of the 37/kloc-0 people who initially met the application conditions were rejected because they were still unqualified).

The following are the specific conditions for applying for permanent residence. If the landlord thinks he meets the requirements, please apply to the relevant departments as soon as possible:
