Visa &
Immigration Solutions

Seamlessly establish your team in China. From Z-Visas for foreign talent to Corporate Residence Permits, we securely navigate the Public Security Bureau (PSB) on your behalf.

Deploying foreign talent to China requires navigating a strict, multi-tiered immigration system managed by the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs (SAFEA) and the Exit-Entry Administration of the Public Security Bureau (PSB).

Relying on short-term business visas for operational work is a severe compliance violation. We manage the entire lifecycle of expat mobility—securing Notification Letters, Z-Visas, biometric Residence Permits, and dependent sponsorships—ensuring your team works legally and securely.

Tiered Work Permit System

China classifies foreign workers into three distinct tiers using a strict points-based system. A minimum score (typically 60 points) based on salary, education, age, and Mandarin proficiency is required to secure a Work Permit.

We strategize your candidate profiles to ensure optimal permit approval:

Tier A (Top Talent): Highly sought-after tech innovators, Fortune 500 executives, and individuals earning over 600,000 RMB annually. Enjoy expedited processing and "Green Channel" approvals.
Tier B (Professional Staff): The vast majority of expats. Requires a Bachelor's degree and at least 2 years of relevant post-graduate work experience.
Tier C (Unskilled/Temporary): Strictly quota-limited laborers, interns, and front-line seasonal workers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely not. Working on an M or F visa is considered illegal employment. It can result in severe fines, deportation for the individual, and the company being blacklisted from hiring foreigners.

No. The single-entry Z-visa is used solely to enter the country. Within 30 days of arrival, we assist in submitting the passport to the local PSB to affix the multi-entry Residence Permit sticker.

For a Work Permit application, the applicant's highest University Degree and a recent No Criminal Record Certificate must be notarized and authenticated by the Chinese Embassy in the applicant's home country.

Work and Residence Permits should be submitted for renewal at least 30 to 60 days before expiration. Permitting a visa to lapse results in daily fines and potential enforced exit.
