Do foreigners need to renew their passports when they have a permanent residence permit in China?

After an alien has a permanent residence permit in China, his or her passport still needs to be updated according to the relevant regulations of the country to which he or she belongs. China’s permanent residence permit and the foreigner’s domestic passport are two independent documents.

China’s permanent residence permit only gives foreigners the right to stay in China for a long time, proving that they can legally live and live in China and enjoy treatment similar to that of Chinese citizens in many aspects. However, a passport is an international travel document issued by the country to which the foreigner belongs, which is used to prove his nationality and identity. Each country has corresponding regulations and requirements for updating its own passport, such as the validity period of the passport, changes in passport information, etc., which may require passport renewal procedures.

Therefore, even if foreigners have obtained a permanent residence permit in China, they still need to pay attention to and update their passports in accordance with their own regulations.
