The policy of “joint application of two certificates” is a convenient measure to optimize the approval process for foreigners to work and stay in China and improve the efficiency of work.
The main policy points include:
1. Simplify application materials: By integrating the application materials for work permit and residence permit, avoid submitting the same supporting documents repeatedly.
2. Synchronous approval: Relevant departments conduct synchronous review of work permit and residence permit applications to reduce approval time.
3. One stop service: Applicants or employers can submit their applications through a single window or online platform, without the need to separately apply to different departments.
4. Improve the efficiency of examination and approval: shorten the overall processing time, so that foreigners can obtain the status of legal work and residence more quickly.
5. Optimize services: Provide clear and concise processing guidelines and consultation channels to help applicants understand policies and procedures.
The implementation of this policy aims to attract more outstanding foreigners to work and live in China and promote international exchanges and cooperation. Different regions may adjust and refine policies based on local conditions.
For example, in certain regions, if an applicant meets specific criteria such as high-end talent or urgently needed talent, they may enjoy priority approval or green channel services, further accelerating the processing speed.
