Benefits of getting a China Green Card

办理中国绿卡的好处

1. Document validity, longer for Chinese Green Cards

1.证件有效期，中国绿卡更长

The Chinese Travel Permit is normally valid for two years and will need to be replaced when it expires.

中国旅行证的有效期一般为两年，而过期了则需重新更换。

The Chinese Green Card is generally valid for 5 or 10 years. Foreigners under the age of 18 who are approved for permanent residence in China are issued with a validity period of 5 years; foreigners over the age of 18 who are approved for permanent residence in China are issued with a validity period of 10 years, renewable upon expiry.

中国绿卡的有效期一般是5或10年，被批准在中国永久居留的未满18周岁的外国人，发给有效期为五年；被批准在中国永久居留的18周岁以上的外国人，发给有效期为10年，到期可续期。

2. The Chinese Green Card will not expire when the baby becomes an adult

2.宝宝成年后使用，中国绿卡不会失效

The China Travel Permit will not be issued indefinitely and the Chinese government will no longer issue it to the child when he or she reaches the age of majority, when the child will need to choose his or her nationality.

中国旅行证不会一直无限期颁发下去，在孩子成年时，中国政府就不会再为其颁发此证，孩子需要在成年时候选择自己的国籍。

Chinese Green Card: The permanent residence card status of a child who has reached the age of 18 does not expire and can be renewed at the immigration department before the expiry of the card. It is useful for children to join Chinese nationality after the age of 18.

中国绿卡：已年满18周岁的小孩的永久居留身份证资格是不会失效，可在证件期满前到出入境部门办理证件换发手续。对于小孩18周岁之后加入中国国籍有帮助。

3. As an admission document, in some areas the travel permit cannot be used as an identity card

3.作为入学材料，部分地区旅行证不能作为身份证

When a child is applying for admission to a school for foreign children, for example, Chaoyang District requires students to be of school age with a foreign passport and an entry visa to the People's Republic of China, and whose actual place of residence is in Chaoyang District (with proof of home ownership, real estate, etc.).

孩子在办理入读外籍子女学校入学时候，比如说朝阳区要求学生持有外国籍护照及中华人民共和国入境签证，且实际居住地在朝阳区(凭房屋所有权证明、不动产等)的适龄儿童。

Although the child applies for a Chinese Green Card, the child's foreign nationality remains intact and the child still holds a foreign passport. A child with a Chinese Green Card can be enrolled in a public school in their place of residence for compulsory education and enjoy the treatment of a local resident. The education administration of their place of residence will handle the admission and transfer procedures in accordance with the principle of admission in the nearest school, without charging fees other than those stipulated by the state.

中国绿卡则可以作为入读外籍学校及公立学校的身份凭证，虽然孩子申请了中国绿卡，但孩子的外国国籍依然保留未取消，仍然持有外国护照。而孩子持有中国绿卡可在居住地接受义务教育入读公立学校，享受本地居民待遇。由其居住地教育行政部门按照就近入学的原则办理入、转学手续，不收取国家规定以外的费用。

4. Green Card holders can register for Chinese college entrance examinations

4.中国高考，持绿卡可报名参加

All provinces require a Chinese green card for foreign nationals to apply for the entrance exam, while some provinces require high school attendance in the province.

各地高考对于外籍人员报名条件里均需持有中国绿卡，同时某些省份的高考报名条件中需高中阶段就在该省就读。

However, a travel permit cannot be used as proof of identity to register for the GCE.

但旅行证则不能作为报名参与高考的身份证明材料。
