Earlier this year China’s Ministry of Justice released new amendments to specify how foreign nationals can apply for permanent residency (PR) in the country. To help expatriates both interpret the changes in regulation and correctly implement them, this event guides foreign passport holders in the Shanghai Municipality through the green card application process, from eligibility requirements and global tax implications to financial planning solutions for PR applicants.
