The Permanent Residence Permit (“China Green Card”) grants long-term residence with benefits close to those of citizens: travel, housing, education. Main pathways: high-level talent, investment, family reunion, or long-term qualified employment with good tax records.
Typical documents: valid passport, residence permit, notarized no-criminal-record certificate, health check, income/tax proof, and pathway-specific evidence. Processing takes roughly 6-12 months.
A green card is not citizenship — you keep your nationality but may live, work and travel freely. It is usually valid for 5-10 years and renewable.
