What benefits do I get when my status changes from the Gold Card to Permanent Residency?

These original benefits will not be affected:

  • Open work permit (not bound to a certain employer or company).
  • Visitor Visas for relatives.
  • Spouse and children can apply for residency.
  • Eligible for National Health Insurance.

New benefits:

  • No need to apply for a work permit.
  • Permanent residency application for dependents reduced to 3 years without need of financial proof.
  • Adult children who meet certain residency requirements may apply for individual work permits.
  • The New Labor Pension Act can be applied. If you are a teacher or researcher, you can choose to receive a one-time pension or monthly pension.
