Differences to Shanghai Residence Permit
Print Edition
The green card is different from the Shanghai Residence Permit for foreigners.
The green card is issued under national regulations, while the Shanghai Residence Permit for foreigners, or Shanghai Overseas Talent Residence Permit, is issued by the Shanghai Public Security Bureau and is administered locally.
The permit is a certificate of a cardholder’s residence and work in Shanghai. It can be used to process social insurance and publicly accumulated housing funds, check information and record the cardholder’s personal and residence information.
The permit is valid for between one and five years.
Permit holders can apply for a long-term stay and may apply for multiple entry-exit visas. But they always need a visa to leave or enter the country.
