Chinese babies born in foreign countries have this question: what is the \"China Travel Permit\" for returning to China? Some babies also apply for a Chinese visa to return to China so should they get a travel permit or a Chinese visa to return to China?
在外国出生的华人宝宝回中国都有这样的疑问：办理回国的“中国旅行证”到底是什么东西？也有些宝宝是办理中国签证回国的，那宝宝回国到底是办旅行证还是中国签证呢？
I. What is a Chinese Travel Permit?
一、什么是中国旅行证？
The travel permit is a passport substitute invented by the Chinese government for certain Chinese citizens who are not suitable for issuing passports. The misconception is that it is considered by the Chinese government to be equivalent to a passport but in fact only the Chinese government recognizes it; other governments only take passports seriously. This means that a travel permit can only be used to enter and leave China but not to travel to other countries nor can it be used to obtain entry and exit documents such as visas to other countries.
旅行证是中国政府发明的为某些不适宜颁发护照的中国公民发放的护照替代品。它容易引起误解的地方是，中国政府认为它的作用等同于护照，但其实只有中国政府承认它，别国政府都只认真正的护照。也就是说旅行证只能用来出入中国，而不能去其它国家，也没法用它办去其它国家的签证等出入境文件。So the only purpose of the travel permit is to enter and leave China and it is the child's legal identity document (not the only one) while in China. As long as the child enters China with a travel permit the child is equivalent to an ordinary Chinese citizen within China and enjoys all the benefits of a Chinese citizen. The Travel Permit itself is only valid for two years but there is no limit to the length of stay in China for a child entering China on a Travel Permit.
所以旅行证的作用只有出入中国，并且在中国境内，它是孩子的合法身份证件（并不是唯一）。只要持旅行证入境中国，孩子在中国境内等同于普通中国公民，享受一切中国公民的待遇。旅行证本身的有效期只有两年，但持旅行证入境中国的孩子在中国境内居留长度没有限制。

1 适用情形
According to the Nationality Law of the People's Republic of China if both or one of the parents are Chinese citizens and the person himself was born in a foreign country and has Chinese nationality he should apply for a Chinese travel document when he travels to China. (If both or one of the parents are Chinese citizens and are settled in a foreign country and the person himself was born with foreign nationality he does not have Chinese nationality and should apply for a Chinese visa when travelling to China.)
