Introduction
You may travel outside the United States with your permanent resident card (Form I-551). On your trip, you should carry the following items:
-your passport
-your green card
-a ticket for your return trip to the United States
Why I’m doing it
I’m doing it for the adventure. I want to explore new cultures and meet new people. I also want to learn new languages.
What the process is
The process of traveling to another country long-term while you have a green card is relatively simple. You will need to obtain a passport from your country of citizenship and apply for a tourist visa from the country you are planning to travel to. Once you have both of these documents, you can begin the process of applying for a green card from the country you are traveling to. The process of applying for a green card can vary from country to country, but it generally involves filling out an application and submitting it to the proper authorities. Once your application is approved, you will be issued a green card that allows you to travel freely between the two countries.
How I’m preparing
There are a few things to keep in mind when preparing to travel to another country long-term while you have a green card.
First, you will need to make sure that your green card is up to date and will not expire while you are away. If it does expire, you will need to renew it before returning to the United States.
Second, you should check with the embassies of both the United States and the country you will be visiting to find out what paperwork is required for travel. It is likely that you will need a valid passport and a visa.
Finally, you should make sure that you have adequate health insurance coverage while you are away. Many green card holders are eligible for Medicare, but it is important to check with your insurer to make sure that your policy will cover you while you are outside of the United States.
What I’m most excited about
I’m most excited about being able to fully immerse myself in the culture of another country. I’ve always loved learning about other cultures, and I’m excited to be able to do that on a more personal level. I’m also looking forward to the food!
What I’m most nervous about
I’m most nervous about two things: culture shock and finding a job. Culture shock is when the new culture you’re in is so different from what you’re used to that it’s jarred your sense of self. It can be really tough to deal with and it takes a while to get used to. So I’m just trying to brace myself for that and be as prepared as possible.
As for finding a job, I’m worried that my experience won’t be transferable or that I won’t make enough money to support myself. I’m also worried about not being able to speak the language fluently enough to get by in an interview. But I’m just going to have to take it one step at a time and see what happens.
What I’m packing
I’m traveling to another country for an extended period of time and I have a green card. What should I pack?
-A valid passport
-Your green card
-Money
-Clothes
-Toiletries
-A travel insurance policy
How I’m saying goodbye
It’s been almost three years since I’ve moved to the United States. I originally came on a student visa, and then I got a green card through my job. I always knew that I wanted to travel long-term, but I wasn’t sure if it was possible with a green card.
I did some research and found out that as long as I maintain my green card status, I can leave and re-enter the United States as often as I want. I also found out that there’s no time limit on how long I can stay out of the country. This means that I can travel for as long as I want and still keep my green card!
I’m currently in the process of saying goodbye to my life in the United States. It’s been a great three years, but now it’s time to start my next adventure. Who knows where life will take me next!
What my plans are
I want to travel to another country for an extended period of time while I have a green card. My husband and I have been discussing the idea of living in another country for a year or two, and we would like to do this while I still have my green card. We are not sure which country we would like to move to, but we are considering a few different options.
We are also considering the option of traveling to multiple countries over the course of a few years. This would allow us to experience different cultures and lifestyles, and we would not have to commit to living in one place for an extended period of time. We are still exploring all of our options, and we have not made any firm decisions about our plans.
Conclusion
Although it is possible to travel outside of the United States while you have a green card, there are some things you should keep in mind before you do so. If you plan on being gone for more than six months, you will need to obtain a reentry permit. Without this permit, you risk losing your green card status and not being able to return to the United States.
It is also important to make sure that your Green card does not expire while you are away. If it does, you will need to renew it before returning to the United States. It is recommended that you carry a copy of your green card with you at all times, as well as any other documents that prove your legal status in the United States.
