China work permits

Process for work permits for China has changed!

There have been major changes in terms of the work authorization process for China.
There is a New China Unified Work Authorization Process for Foreign Nationals:

  • Online information platform
  • Three categories of foreign workers working in China

The Chinese government decided to try out the new process from November 2016 to March 2017 in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and provinces of Hebei, Anhui, Shandong, Guangdong, Sichuang, Yunnan and the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region

From April 2017 it is planned to roll it out nationwide.

For new applications a company must be registered under the new online system. Once the company registration is complete, the company then can sponsor the work authorization application.
