vivi参与者Should I apply for a visa when a child is born in the United States when he returns home for the first time? Or should I apply for a travel permit?

admin管理员在回答这个问题之前，我们需要先理解：
1.中国旅行证的颁发对象为中国人。（中国国籍）
2.中国签证的颁发对象为非中国国籍的外国人。（外国国籍）
如果孩子在美国出生，根据美国的法律孩子拥有美国国籍，并且可以申请美国护照。但是，根据中国的相关法律，中国不承认双重国籍。在这种情况下孩子虽然已经拿到了美国护照，但是回国仍然可能需要办理旅行证。
中国国籍法第5条： 父母双方或一方为中国公民，本人出生在外国，具有中国国籍；但父母双方或一方为中国公民并定居在外国，本人出生时即具有外国国籍的，不具有中国国籍。什么是定居？
我们可以理解为： 如果父、母持有的是美国永久居民卡（绿卡），这种情况属于定居。如果父、母在海外作短期停留，例如商务出行、旅游、工作、学习，持有的外国签证种类属于有时间限制的，这种情况下属于非定居性质。 根据以上信息，我们做出以下的整理：孩子回国该办理中国签证还是中国旅行证？
父母方1 父母方2 儿童回国应办理：
中国护照 （无绿卡） 中国护照 （无绿卡） 中国旅行证
中国护照（无绿卡） 美国护照 中国旅行证
中国护照 （无绿卡） 中国护照+绿卡 中国签证
中国护照+绿卡 中国护照+绿卡 中国签证
持有美国护照 持有美国护照 中国签证
注意：判断父母“有/无”绿卡的时间点由儿童的出生日期决定。如果父母是在儿童出生后拿到了绿卡，则对应以上表格无绿卡栏。 如果父母是在儿童出生前拿到了绿卡，则对应以上表格有绿卡栏。 请根据儿童出生日期和绿卡的生效日期做出判断。（该表格的信息根据中国驻美国华盛顿大使馆的做法整理，最终结果由使领馆的领事决定）其它情况：
1.儿童有过中国旅行证，可以提供记录， 则继续申请办理中国旅行证。
2.儿童有过中国签证，可以提供其签证记录，则继续申请办理中国签证。
3.如果儿童曾经办理过中国签证（或旅行证），但是不能提供其签证（或旅行证）的记录（复印件/原件），则应当按照第一次申请回国的情况准备材料。post-509 10月、 2周前
admin管理员Before answering this question, we need to understand:
1. The issuance of Chinese Travel Document is for Chinese nationals.
2. The issuance of Chinese visas is for foreigners who are not Chinese nationals. (Foreign nationality)
If a child is born in the United States, according to US law, the child has US citizenship and can apply for a US passport. However, according to Chinese law, China does not recognize dual citizenship. In this case, although the child has obtained a US passport, they may still need to apply for a travel document when returning to China.
Article 5 of the Nationality Law of China: If both parents or one parent is a Chinese citizen and the individual is born in a foreign country, they possess Chinese nationality; however, if both parents or one parent is a Chinese citizen and settles in a foreign country, and the individual possesses foreign nationality at the time of birth, they do not possess Chinese nationality.
What is settlement?
We can understand that if the parents hold a US permanent resident card (green card), this situation is considered as settlement. If the parents are temporarily staying overseas, such as for business trips, tourism, work, or study, and hold a foreign visa with a time limit, this situation is considered as non-settlement. Based on the above information, we make the following summary:
Should children apply for a Chinese visa or a Chinese travel document when returning to China?
Parental side 1 Parental side 2 child’s return should be processed:
Chinese passport (without green card) Chinese passport (without green card) Chinese Travel Document
Chinese passport (without green card) U.S. passport Chinese Travel Document
Chinese passport (without green card) Chinese passport + green card Chinese Visa
Holding a U.S. passport Holding a U.S. passport Chinese Visa
Note: The point in time at which a parent is determined to have/not have a green card is determined by the child’s date of birth. If the parent received the green card after the child’s birth, there is no green card field in the table above. If the parent received the green card before the child’s birth, there is a green card column in the table above. Please make a judgment based on the child’s date of birth and the effective date of the green card. (The information on this form is based on the practices of the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., and is subject to the discretion of the Consul of the Embassy or Consulate).
Other situations:
1. If the child has a previous record of holding a Chinese Travel Document, they can continue to apply for a Chinese Travel Document.
2. If the child has had a Chinese visa and can provide the visa records, they can proceed to apply for a Chinese visa.
3. If a child has previously obtained a Chinese visa (or travel document), but cannot provide a record of the visa (or travel document) (copy/original), the materials should be prepared according to the situation of the first application for returning to China.
