This one is just silly though. No one has a Vatican “Green card”. Citizenship of the Vatican is temporary and residency is “You work for the pope”.
And if youre going to be playing silly buggers, then San Marino and Liechtenstein probably top China. I don’t even think you CAN get a Liechtenstein residency unless you’re Swiss.
Edit: Which means the process for getting a Lichtensteinian “Green card” is: (Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong in the process here, I’m sourcing from my memory and the government website)
A: Move to Switzerland
B: Live there for 6 years
C: Acquire language fluency in the official language of the canton. This requires tests and possibly formal educational qualifications. I would suggest one of the German cantons, since your eventual goal is a place that also speaks a similar type of German.
D: Have a steady job for those 6 years while you’re learning the language. (Also don’t do crimes and pay your taxes). Also until you get the citizenship don’t be unemployed if at all possible.
E: Get a C-Permit
F: Live there for 4 years more.
G: Apply for citizenship
H: Pass the communal level citizenship test
I: Pass the canton level citizenship test
J: Pass the national level citizenship test.
K: Get a job in Liechtenstein
M: Communte from Switzerland for a while
N: Win a lottery for the chance to be allowed to legally move to Liechtenstein
O: Move there
P: Live there for 5 years
Q: Apply for permanent residency
And none of this is getting into non language based educational qualifications and financial requirements.
This is the kind of thing that AI is good at, taking information from disparate sources and assembling it into a whole.
China is: have Chinese relatives. By blood or (this is the loophole) by marriage. The spousal route isn’t really for whitey but for North Korean or Vietnamese wives of Chinese men, which is why it doesn’t allow work. You don’t need to work because you’re at home with the kids anyway.
Or found a company that brings in tons of investment capital or be a well-paid executive of a big company or be a Ph.D. in a field that China wants badly, like AI.
Citizenship is all but impossible and you probably wouldn’t want it anyway.
Permanent residency all but makes you Chinese in the eyes of the law, you get a national ID card and can participate in life just like a Chinese.
No language requirement.
