Wuhan, capital of central Hubei Province, recently began accepting applications from foreigners for the new Chinese green card.

A Danish reporter became the first applicant for the credit card-sized photo ID on Tuesday.

Wuhan is also the place where the first foreign permanent resident in China lived in 1986, a German director of the Wuhan Diesel Engine Factory.

China opened a bureau for the Regulations on Examination and Approval of Permanent Residence of Aliens on August 15, marking the official implementation of China's green card.

According to the regulations, eligibility for permanent residence mainly applies to high-level foreign personnel who hold business posts that promote China's economic, scientific and technological development or social progress.

Foreigners who make large investments in China and have made outstanding contributions or are of special importance to China, and foreigners who come to China to be with their families are also eligible.

Green card holders do not need to obtain visas and can enter and leave the country with their valid passports and Alien Permanent Residence Permits.
