9. U.S. Customs Entry Process

90 days, no need to leave the country once a month.

Nationality For this group of permanent residents holding U.S. green cards, no visa is required to travel between China and the United States, while those holding U.S. passports need to apply for and complete a Chinese visa before entering China. The procedures are complicated and the fees are not low. If the visa expires or the number of entries is insufficient, they have to apply for a new visa.

For people who frequently travel between China and the United States, holding a green card is more convenient. Green card holders who have lived in the United States for 3-5 years can apply for U.S. citizenship and obtain a U.S. passport. However, since China does not recognize dual nationality, naturalizing in the United States means giving up Chinese nationality. Therefore, many people often give up their U.S. passports and retain their green card status for the convenience of returning to their country.
