For many Chinese who study in Australia and work in Australia, naturalization is a difficult choice, and many people have a hard time thinking about it.
But in the past year or two, China`s green card system has been gradually relaxed and the good news has continued. The vast majority of compatriots have seen expectations and are looking forward to the official launch of the Chinese foreign Chinese identity card (also known as the Chinese American Card).
Now there has finally been substantial progress, "Chinese card" officially began to handle! And its first beneficiary is our Australian Chinese college students.
In early December 2016, China`s Ministry of Public Security supported the construction of the Shanghai Center of Science and Technology for entry-exit policy "New Ten" official implementation.
The aim of the new 10 articles is to attract overseas talents to innovate and start a business, to facilitate foreign Chinese to live and work in peace and contentment, to give foreign investors a preference for applying for permanent residence, and to facilitate the study of foreign students and the creation of new ventures. It will promote Shanghai to attract and gather more overseas high-level talents, innovative entrepreneurial talents and overseas investors.

2. Family visit may take 5 years of "green card" in Shanghai for long-term work, study, family visit, the relevant residence documents are extended to a maximum of 5 years.
If foreign Chinese temporarily come to negotiate business or engage in scientific, educational, cultural, and health exchange activities, they may apply for multiple round-trip visas within 5 years and stay in China for no more than 6 months on the basis of relevant supporting materials.
3. For foreign investors applying for permanent residency in China, the requirement of lowering the threshold for investment immigration will be reduced from US $2 million to US $1 million! At the same time, the investor identification method is relaxed, if the person is a natural person as the controlling shareholder of the company investment, can also apply.
