Whether the Foreign Affairs Office will visit the company for inspection may vary depending on the region, specific circumstances, and the work arrangements of the Foreign Affairs Office.
Generally speaking, when handling the invitation letter of foreigners to China, the Foreign Affairs Office will review the application materials to ensure the authenticity and necessity of the invitation. The applying unit needs to submit a series of materials, such as the application report of the inviting unit, a copy of the organization code certificate or business license, an invitation letter, and correspondence documents with the invited party (specific material requirements may vary in different regions).
If the Foreign Affairs Office has doubts about certain aspects during the review of materials or needs to further verify the situation, it may choose to conduct on-site inspections at the company. This is for a more comprehensive understanding of the company’s situation, the reasons for inviting foreigners to China, and related preparations.
For example, in Yantai City, the Foreign Affairs Office has the right to request enterprises to provide more information or conduct on-site inspections and confirmations based on the actual situation. For those who refuse to cooperate, have insufficient reasons for coming to China or cannot prove their purpose of coming to China, or submit forged or counterfeit application materials, the “Invitation Verification Form” will be refused.
It is recommended to understand the specific requirements and procedures of the local foreign affairs office in detail before handling the invitation letter of foreigners to China, and ensure that the materials submitted are true, accurate and complete. This can improve the efficiency of processing and reduce possible problems. If you have any questions, you can directly communicate and consult with the local foreign affairs office.
