In the past three years, due to the impact of the novel coronavirus pneumonia, the country's control of entry and exit and visa approval have been restricted to varying degrees, which has led to many foreign customers deeply aware of the difficulties of visa application and travel to China during the epidemic period. During the epidemic, it often takes a lot of time and effort for foreigners to re-enter the country after leaving the country. Although the epidemic has ended now, China has also summed up the experience during the epidemic period, and the supervision of foreigners who want to apply for coming to China is becoming more and more strict, and the approval process is becoming more and more standardized. As a result, even at present, foreigners who want to apply for short-term visas to frequent travel to China are still particularly cumbersome, energy-consuming and financial. As a result, more and more foreigners are inquiring about permanent residence in China.

过去的三年里，因为新冠肺炎的影响，国家对出入境的管控以及签证的审批都有了不同程度的限制，这也就导致了在疫情期间，很多外国客户都深深的认识到了签证申请以及来往中国之困难。在疫情期间，外国人出境之后想要重新入境，往往都需要耗费大量的时间和精力才有一定的可能性。虽然现在疫情已经结束，但中国也总结了疫情期间的经验，对于想要申请来中国的外国人的监管也越来越严格，审批流程越来越规范化，这就导致了即使是当下，外国人想要通过申请短期签证频繁往来中国，依旧特别的繁琐以及耗费精力、财力。因此，外国人来咨询中国永居居留的情况也越来越多。

China permanent residence permit, has the "world's most difficult to get the green card" said, in the application process there are a lot of problems need to pay attention to, if foreigners do not understand the details of the application directly try to apply, not only easily lead to the failure of the application, if left a bad record, and even will try to apply again in the future have a profound impact. Through this article, SFBC will talk about the precautions for applying for a permanent residence permit in China.

中国永久居留许可证，有着“世界上最难拿的绿卡”之称，在申请过程中有很多需要注意的问题，如果外国人在不了解申请细节的情况下直接尝试申请，不仅仅容易导致申请失败，若是留下不良的案底，甚至还会对将来再次尝试申请产生深远的影响。通过这篇文章SFBC就来讲一讲申请中国永久居留许可证的注意事项

What should you pay attention to during the application process to avoid failure?

申请过程中需要注意哪些问题来避免自己申请失败呢？

1. The original Chinese hukou has not been cancelled. This question mainly applies to applicants who originally held Chinese nationality but later acquired foreign nationality. Because China does not recognize dual citizenship, when an applicant becomes a foreign citizen, he or she must first renounce the Chinese nationality and cancel the Chinese hukou. The Chinese permanent residence status is a kind of identity convenience given to foreigners in China, if they still retain a Chinese hukou, they must not apply for permanent residence in China. Not only that, when the original Chinese account is disclosed, the exit and entry department will require the applicant to forcibly cancel the account, otherwise it will even have a bad impact on the applicant's subsequent application for other visa documents.

1.原中国户口尚未注销。这个问题主要是针对原来拥有中国国籍，后来加入外国国籍的申请人。因为中国不承认双重国籍，所以当申请人加入外国国籍时，必须先退出中国国籍并注销中国户口。而中国永居身份是中国给予外国人一种身份上的便利，如果仍保留着中国户口，是一定不能申请中国永居的。不仅如此，当原来的中国户口披露时，出入境会要求申请人强制注销户口，否则甚至对申请人后续申请其他签证证件也产生恶劣影响。

2. False materials were found during the audit. When the applicant submits the application for permanent residence, the National Immigration Administration will strictly examine the materials provided by the applicant. If any falsification of the materials is found, the application will fail and affect the future application.

2.审核期间发现提供虚假材料。当申请人递交永居申请后，国家移民管理局会严格审查申请人提供的材料，如果发现有材料弄虚作假的情况，就会导致申请失败并影响将来再次申请。

3. Failure to conduct an on-site interview results in the application being rejected. According to the Measures for the Administration of Examination and Approval of Foreigners' Permanent Residence in China, when a foreigner applies for permanent residence in China, he/she or the parents of unmarried children under the age of 18 or the entrusted person shall submit an application to the public security organ of the people's government of the district level of the main investment place or the long-term residence place, or to the public security branch or county bureau of the municipality directly under the Central Government. However, according to the experience of SFBC in assisting customers in their application, the applicant is basically required to go to the exit and entry interview in person when the applicant is in China, otherwise the application is generally not accepted.

3.不能进行现场面试导致申请被退。根据《外国人在中国永久居留审批管理办法》规定：外国人申请在中国永久居留，由本人或者未满 18 周岁未婚子女的父母或者被委托人向主要投资地或者长期居留地的设区的市级人民政府公安机关或者直辖市公安分、县局提出申请。但根据SFBC实际协助客户申请的经验来说，申请人在境内时出入境基本都会要求申请人亲自前往出入境进行面谈，否则申请一般不予以受理。

4. Confirm that the background audit does not meet the eligibility for application. Although the application for permanent residence is accepted by local entry-exit authorities, the actual approval and review of materials are carried out by the National Immigration Administration of China. Therefore, sometimes, after the local entry-exit acceptance and approval, the national review finds that the applicant does not actually meet the application requirements for permanent residence, which ultimately leads to the failure of the application. As a professional organization, SFBC has successfully assisted many clients in obtaining permanent residence status. Customers who pass our assessment and meet the requirements of the application can successfully obtain permanent residence status in China as long as they successfully submit their application for permanent residence.

4.后台审核时确认不符合申请资格。虽然永居申请的受理单位都是地方出入境，但实际审批以及审查材料都是由中国国家移民管理局进行的。因此有时候就会出现地方出入境受理审批后，国家审查发现申请人实际并不符合永居的申请要求，最终导致申请失败的情况发生。SFBC作为专业机构，成功协助许多客户拿到永居身份。通过我们评估后条件符合申请的客户，只要成功递交永居申请，都能顺利获得中国永居身份。
