Australian immigrants: green card, permanent residence, what is the difference in nationality?

The term "green card" comes from the fact that the documents issued by the United States to permanent residents are green, so China people are used to calling all foreign residency rights "green cards".

"Permanent Residence" means the right to permanent residence, and English is Permanent Residence, or PR for short. A permanent residence visa not only allows you to live in Australia permanently, but also allows you to travel to and from Australia freely and indefinitely within five years.

"Nationality" means that you have become an Australian citizen and hold an Australian passport. Since China does not recognize dual citizenship, joining Australian citizenship is equivalent to automatically giving up China citizenship.

Relationship: "green card" = "permanent residence status" = "PR"

The differences in rights enjoyed by Australian permanent residents and citizens are mainly reflected in five aspects:

First, the right to vote;

Second, the right to be elected;

Third, military service;

4. Being elected as a member of the jury;

Five, engaged in some special work of the government personnel (such as intelligence personnel).

These five rights or obligations are not for permanent residents, but for citizens.
