Foreigners applying for a work visa in China are not only able to find a job, but also need to meet a series of conditions and requirements.
The first is the employing unit. The employing unit needs to be established according to law, have actual business premises, pay taxes according to law, pay social insurance, and have no record of serious violations of the law and dishonesty, and employ foreigners for jobs that are temporarily short of suitable candidates in China, which does not violate the relevant provisions of the state.
The second is the applicant, who needs to meet basic conditions such as being at least 18 years old and in good health.
Foreigners’ employment in China also needs to go through a series of approval processes. If foreigners are abroad, the usual process is to obtain a work permit notice first, then apply for a work visa to enter the country, and then apply for a work permit and a work type residence permit after entering the country. If you are a foreigner already in China, you can directly apply for a work permit if you meet certain conditions.
Foreigners’ work permits in China are divided into three categories: A, B and C. Among them, A is high-end talent, B is professional talent, and C is other personnel. Each category has its specific classification criteria and requirements. For example, A-level high-end talents may include candidates selected for relevant domestic talent programs or those who meet internationally recognized professional achievement recognition standards.
During the application process, it may be necessary to submit materials including but not limited to work permit application form, letter of intent for employment, highest degree certificate and certification, certificate of no criminal record, medical examination certificate, etc. The specific materials and procedures required may vary depending on different regions and specific situations. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a message for consultation.
