First, the specific conditions for getting a green card in China.
If you have made direct investment in China for three consecutive years, the situation is relatively stable and your tax record is good, then you can get a green card in China. If you have served as deputy general manager or deputy factory director in China, or have some senior titles and have served for 4 years, and have a good tax record, you can also get a green card in China. In addition, it is easier to get a green card for some talents who have made great contributions in China or are needed by the country. It should also be noted that foreigners applying for green cards in China must abide by the laws of our country, and must be in good health, free from infectious diseases and criminal records.
Second, the benefits of having a green card in China.
If foreigners get a green card in China, it means that they are eligible to live legally in China. In principle, they can enjoy the rights that China citizens have, and their stay in China is unrestricted. In addition, if foreigners have a green card in China, they can work freely and participate in social security in China. That is to say, those foreigners who get a green card in China can get a pension after retirement, thus ensuring their life after retirement. Moreover, children of foreigners with China green cards can enjoy compulsory education and buy commercial housing in China.
Finally, the process of applying for a green card is also more troublesome. It even took some people more than a year to get a green card, but it also proves that China is very strong.
