The "Chinese green Card" is the permanent residence card issued by the Chinese government to foreign citizens. It is the legal identity document for foreign citizens to stay in China. The period of residence in China is not limited, and foreign citizens can enter and exit China with their passport and green card without further visa application. The 2017 version of the foreigner permanent Residence ID card is designed and manufactured according to the standards of the second generation resident ID card, and is embedded with a contactless integrated circuit chip. Certificate registration items include the holder's name, gender, date of birth, nationality, validity period, issuing authority and certificate number. The personal data of the holder and the management information of certificate issuance are stored in the chip at the same time, which can be read by the second-generation resident ID card reading machine. This SFBC document explains what elements need to be paid attention to when applying for each type of permanent residence.
