Permanent residency is not a visa affixed to your passport, nor does it expire when you leave the country. That’s what makes it permanent residency.

Source: am a US permanent resident.

Try living outside the US for a couple of years and see what happens to your permanent residency.

Relinquishing your residency isn’t the same as a visa expiring. Visas are always time limited, PR is literally permanent unless you commit a crime or live overseas long enough to let it expire.

You get into the US without a visa by having a green card instead.
