On the evening of March 26, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the implementation of an entry ban effective at midnight on March 28. Anyone outside of China after that date was effectively barred from returning even if an individual held a visa or residency permit. Despite the suddenness of this policy, there was only one type of documentation that would allow entry into China: a green card.

The webinar will be focusing on two distinct aspects of Chinese green cards. First, the legality surrounding green cards will be discussed in detail by Vivian Desmonts covering shared legal obligations of companies and foreign employees in regards to work permits, rights and obligations of foreigners when holding a Permanent Residency card / "green card", and new draft regulation to facilitate the application for a green card. Scott Li from Deloitte will present the second half of the webinar overviewing China's Green Card policy, available application types, and the benefits of possessing a green card.
