Benefits
Permanent residence gives you almost all the rights as a Chinese citizen. Once you get it, you would not need to worry about applying for a new visa or a work permit anymore. Its validity is 10 years for adults and 5 years for children. After you get your card, your family will become eligible as well.

The card can be used in many situations instead of your passport. You can enter and leave China with it, take a flight, use it at the bank, and in many other scenarios.

Eligibility
The two main situations that may make foreigners eligible for permanent residence status are marriage to a Chinese citizen, or paying high taxes for four consecutive years. Other ways to get it are either by a large investment into the country, or by being a high talent in demand. To learn about the specific conditions, watch the video above.

Application Process
While any type of visa application may be complicated, you can expect this one to be even tougher. You would need to provide several documents as usual, with the notarized and authenticated noncriminal record being the most important one. You might also need to be interviewed by the immigration bureau, especially if you’re getting it based on your marriage. The whole process may take six months to one year.

Getting a Chinese “green card” is the holy grail for any expat living in China. Find out whether you might be eligible, and just go for it!
