What is a permanent
residence permit?

Say goodbye to visa renewals! Getting a permanent residence permit is basically getting a multiple-entry visa for 10 years. Once granted, you will have a Certificate of Permanent Residence of Aliens for 10 years, and it is renewable. This becomes your ID card and, together with your passport, the certificate allows you to leave and enter China without visa stamps and without limit.

Eligibility is gained through several categories and our team can guide through the best approach.
