When the applicant is over 60 years old, they cannot obtain a work visa through a bachelor’s degree or above and more than 2 years of work experience. However, if a foreigner meets certain conditions, he can still apply for a Chinese work permit after the age of 60 and continue to work in China.
Based on our experience, foreign friends over 60 years old can continue working in China through the following methods:
1. Class A work permit
Apply for a Class A work permit with no age limit. So, high-end talents can still apply for work visas in China after the age of 60. High end talents usually need to have outstanding contributions or a salary that is six times the average social wage.
2. Integral method
Points elements include educational background, years of work experience, Chinese proficiency level, annual salary, etc.
3. Chinese Green Card
Chinese green card holders can work directly and continue to work after the age of 60.
In addition, applicants over 60 years old are required to provide a health examination report and purchase commercial health insurance.
