MHRSS Services in
China

Strategic workforce management, from establishment file opening and visa issuance to Foreign Employee Requirements (Visa Quotas) compliance.

Open Labor File

Human capital is the engine of your China expansion. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSS) governs all employment activities, including visa & immigration, contract regulations, and nationalization targets. We ensure your entity meets all labor requirements to build a compliant and productive team.

Role of MHRSS

MHRSS oversees the nation's labor laws, ensuring the rights of employees and employers are protected. It manages the digital ecosystem (Local Labor Bureau, PSB Portal, the Local Tax Bureau) that facilitates almost all government-related HR transactions.

Foreigner Tier System: The ministry's color-coded rating system that determines a company's ability to hire foreign staff based on its Foreign Employee Requirements (localization) ratio.

Core Labor Services

From initial setup to ongoing management, we handle your MHRSS portfolio.

Why the Tier System Matters

Every entity is categorized based on its Foreign Employee Requirements percentage. Your color acts as your operational status:

Full privileges: Visa issuance, ease of renewal, and ability to transfer staff.

Low Green

Warning zone: Restricted visa issuance; urgent need to hire China nationals.

Tier C (Non-skilled/Temporary)

Non-compliant: Cannot renew visas or hire new staff. Risk of closure.

Benefits of Professional Management

  • Immediate Hiring Rapid establishment of your Local Labor Bureau account to start issuing visas instantly.
  • Cost Efficiency Optimizing your work permit strategy to minimize government fees and penalties.
  • Legal Security Ensuring all contracts are legally watertight and digitally registered.
