Is it an immigrant to settle abroad? What are the ways for China people to emigrate?

Nowadays, many people live abroad. Are you an immigrant living abroad? If China people want to emigrate, what are the options? Dear me, I will tell you the details here.

1. What's the difference between living abroad and staying for a short time?

Going abroad to settle down belongs to the category of international immigration, which refers to permanent residence in another country or region; Short-term residence refers to short-term travel to a country or region, study abroad, visit relatives and friends, etc. For example, both overseas Chinese and foreign Chinese have settled abroad, or are immigrants, while short-term overseas visits to relatives and friends, sightseeing, official visits, and study abroad do not belong to the category of settling abroad. However, if they have obtained the long-term residence certificate of that country or region (such as the green card of the United States), the nature of their so-called short-term residence has changed, and they can also be said to have become foreign settlers.

2. What are the types of China citizens who have settled (immigrated) abroad?

China citizens immigrate to other countries or regions in the following seven ways:

(1) Relatives' migration: that is, immigrants who go through the settlement procedures by virtue of their kinship and the laws and regulations for going to a certain country or region. For example, kinship between parents, children, siblings and spouses, kinship arising from marriage and kinship arising from adoption can all constitute the conditions for relatives to emigrate.

Relatives migration includes:

① Family reunion immigrants: Family members here generally refer to spouses and unmarried children, and some also include married children. Fiance (wife), other countries include grandparents, parents, children, brothers and sisters, grandchildren, etc. As long as the existence of family relations meets the prescribed scope and the basic conditions of family members (such as age) meet the requirements, they can go through the formalities of family reunion and immigration;

(2) Assisted immigrants: immigrants with other relatives who do not belong to the scope of family reunion immigration are generally assisted immigrants;

③ International adoption relationship migration: Due to the establishment of adoption relationship, the relationship between adoptees (mainly minors) and adopters is also considered as a special kinship. Therefore, this form of immigration is called international adoption immigration;

4 Marriage migration: because of the establishment of marriage, one party settled in the other party, which is called marriage migration.

(2) Professional skilled migration: also known as autonomous migration, refers to professional and technical personnel, such as experts, professors, engineers, craftsmen, people with special professional and technical skills or people who have made great contributions in a certain field, who can apply for professional skilled migration on the condition of their special skills.

(3) Investment immigrants: that is, independent immigrants who apply to another country to invest in enterprises or undertakings to settle in that country according to their own economic strength.

(4) Labor migration: refers to workers or farmers with certain technical skills and other specialized industries, such as chefs, technicians and repairmen, who settle in another country or region.

(5) Nationality immigrants: also known as immigrants with recognized nationality. Citizens who were originally born in a foreign country naturally acquire the nationality of that country because of the laws of the country of birth. Therefore, if they give up the nationality they have acquired and restore the nationality of their birthplace, then they are immigrants with nationality or immigrants with nationality recognition.

(6) Political migrants: People who have taken refuge and settled in other countries due to political, religious, racial and natural disasters are called political migrants or refugees.

(7) Visa conversion immigration: refers to a person who has obtained a non-immigrant visa and, for some special reasons, after arriving in the host country and meeting the immigration conditions, converts the non-immigrant visa into an immigrant visa with the approval of the host country.

What should China people pay attention to after emigration?

1. What should I do if I have the conditions to join a foreign nationality abroad?

The question of whether some people who go abroad for personal reasons can become foreign nationals after they have the conditions during their stay abroad is freely decided by the people who go abroad, and no organization or individual may interfere. However, it is best to carefully consider the issue of determining a person's nationality.

First of all, we should be familiar with the relevant provisions of the Nationality Law of the People's Republic of China. For example, Article 3 stipulates that "People's Republic of China (PRC) does not recognize dual citizenship of China citizens" and Article 9 stipulates that "China citizens who have settled abroad will automatically lose their China citizenship if they voluntarily join or acquire foreign citizenship"; Secondly, it is necessary to understand the relevant legal provisions of the nationality of the country to be joined, as well as the relevant provisions of the Nationality Law Convention. Then decide whether to give up nationality and join foreign nationality.
