Normally, B-class work permit holders can apply for a residence permit of 1 to 5 years.
Generally speaking, the B-class work permit is designed for foreign professionals, and the specific number of years they can apply for a residence permit may be affected by various factors, such as:
-Regional policies: Different regions may introduce relevant policies based on their actual situation and demand for talent. For example, in order to attract and retain foreign talents, some regions can apply for work permits and work type residence permits for foreigners who have applied for work permits and work type residence permits twice or more in a row and have no violations of laws and regulations.
