8. Visa process of American Consulate in Shanghai

Xi Nmin.com was also introduced by the border inspection authorities in Pudong, which was issued by the Ministry of Public Security in accordance with the Administrative Measures for the Examination and Approval of Foreigners' Permanent Residence in China and the Permanent Residence Permit for Foreigners (commonly known as China Green Card). It is a legal identity document for foreigners who have obtained permanent residency in China to stay in China, and the holder does not need to apply for a visa when entering or leaving the country within the validity period of the document. "Shanghai Residence Permit" is a certificate used by the holder to handle social insurance, housing accumulation fund and other personal related affairs, inquire about relevant information, and record the basic information needed by the holder for population management, change of residence and other related information. Foreigners holding the Shanghai Residence Permit can apply for multiple entry and exit visas with the same long-term residence and residence period. Therefore, the Shanghai Residence Permit is only a proof of visa procedures and can be used as a permanent residence permit for foreigners. Foreigners are not allowed to enter or leave the country with residence permits. The Exit-Entry Administration of Shanghai Public Security Bureau recently held a symposium for foreigners during the Spring Festival in Shanghai. It is reported that Shanghai will approve the issuance of a number of foreigners' permanent residence permits in Shanghai. The qualification of permanent residence is the qualification granted by a government to eligible foreigners to stay permanently in the country according to its own laws and regulations, regardless of the length of stay. According to Du Taiyuan, director of the Exit-Entry Administration Department of Beijing Public Security Bureau, foreigners apply for and approve permanent residence in China, mainly foreign high-level talents who work in industries and units that play a fundamental role in China's development, American economy, scientific and technological development and social progress, foreign-invested individuals with high direct investment in China, people with special needs who have made important contributions to the country and their spouses and minor children. At the same time, the reunion of husband and wife, the dependence of minors on parents and the elderly, and relatives are also the objects of examination and approval. According to relevant personnel of Beijing Public Security Bureau, foreigners who invest in China apply for permanent residence in China, and the local public security organs where the applicants invest the most accept their applications, while those who work in China accept their applications for long-term residence. Where the place of residence and the place of work are not in the same area, it shall be accepted by the public security organ where the employer is located, and the children or spouses of the above-mentioned persons shall be accepted by the public security organ where China citizens have their domicile or foreigners with permanent residence qualifications in China have their permanent residence. The Exit-Entry Administration Office of Beijing Public Security Bureau is responsible for accepting and examining applications for permanent residence of foreigners working and living in Beijing. As the examination and approval authority of the Ministry of Public Security. The public security organ shall decide whether to approve or disapprove the permanent residence in China within 6 months from the date of acceptance. It is very high for foreigners to apply for a green card in Shanghai, and they should make contributions to society. According to the Administrative Measures for the Examination and Approval of Permanent Residence of Foreigners in China, the cost of applying for a green card in China is relatively high, which is also the reason why foreigners apply for a green card in Shanghai. Ma Zhendong, director of the Shanghai Exit-Entry Administration Bureau, told the reporter that under the green card system, more than 30 foreigners in Shanghai have been granted the right to settle in China, most of whom are descendants of the older generation of overseas Chinese. Since the reform and opening up, only six foreigners have been granted China permanent resident status in Shanghai. Among them, the late American Talitha Gerlach participated in the China Revolution, and the other five were foreign friendly people who made special contributions to Shanghai. Implement the green card system, and unify the approval of settlement and the granting of permanent residence qualification into the granting of permanent residence qualification. According to Du Taiyuan, director of the Exit-Entry Administration Department of Beijing Public Security Bureau, since19861February 2 12, Beijing Public Security Bureau has provided 24 international friends and

The application and approval of foreigners' permanent residence in China are mainly for foreign high-level talents working in industries and units that have a fundamental role in promoting China, foreign investors with high direct investment in China, people with special needs who have made important contributions to the country, and their spouses and minor children. At the same time, the reunion of husband and wife, the dependence of minors on parents and the elderly, and relatives are also the objects of examination and approval. According to the relevant personnel of Beijing Public Security Bureau, foreigners who have invested in China apply for permanent residence in China, which shall be handled by the local public security organ where the applicant has invested the most. If you work in China, the applicant's public security organ accepts long-term residence. Where the place of residence and place of work are not in the same area, it shall be accepted by the public security organ where the employer is located, and the children or spouses of the above-mentioned persons shall be accepted by the public security organ where China citizens have their domicile or where foreigners with permanent residence qualifications in China live for a long time.

As the examination and approval authority of the Ministry of Public Security. The public security organ shall decide whether to approve or disapprove the permanent residence in China within 6 months from the date of acceptance. Ma, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, told reporters that I have been dealing with China since the 1980s and have lived in Beijing for eight years now. The green card system is very good. This is also the manifestation of China's globalization and China's reform and opening up. There are many foreigners in China now, so we need such a convenient green card in China. This is very important for foreigners living in China for a long time, which reflects the encouragement of the China government. The introduction of this measure is timely and meaningful.
