I Got Permanent Residency! ...Now I Want to Leave?! (Life in Spain) | Chinese Podcast #218

Hello everyone, welcome to Dashu Mandarin Welcome to Uncle Chinese . Today I'll speak a little slower because we're still thinking, still figuring out what to talk about. But actually, I have some news ! Oh, suddenly ! Great! Today all the attention is on this person ! Hahaha, I finally don't have to talk anymore!

Hahaha. No, it's just something I suddenly thought of , but you can expand on it later. No , no, no, we'll listen to you , we'll listen to you. Um, ah, I finally got permanent residency! Spanish permanent residency ! Oh , really? You really want to settle in Spain ? Then you're Spanish?

That's what it means . No, no, no, it 's not the same as citizenship. It's permanent residency, it doesn't expire, it doesn't expire. Um, you can live here indefinitely. You don't need to become a citizen , but you can renew your card every ten years. You can live here , but you have to renew the card every ten years.

Um, like that . But living here isn't a problem . Otherwise, I used to have to renew my residency every five years . Right, and this is permanent residency , it's changed from 5 years to 10 years , but it's not permanent residency before, it was long-term residency. Now... Yes , uh, you don't need such a

long-term residency permit. You need to provide all sorts of materials . I understand, I understand, I understand. But permanent residency means you just need to renew your card every 10 years . It's like renewing your ID card, right? It's actually very convenient. Yes, you don't need to provide all sorts of messy materials anymore.

I understand, I understand. But it just turns into another episode of complaining. Why? Because of the efficiency of the work. The efficiency of renewing the card. Well, it's very interesting. In Spain, well, I don't really want to complain about other countries because I live in other countries. But, well , I can't help it, right?
