Since the rapid spread of COVID-19 across the world, China government has decided to temporarily suspend the entry into China by foreign nationals holding visas or residence permits still valid to the time of this announcement, effective from 28 March 2020. Only the foreigners who engage in necessary reasons (economic, trade, scientific or technological activities, as well as for urgent humanitarian assistance) have the chance to come to China.

According to the announcement, the foreigners need to apply an Invitation Letter (PU Letter) which issued by the China Foreign Affair Office, but the Official Office has strict standards for judging whether it is necessary to come to China or not. Usually, only the senior managers of Medium and Large Enterprises or the technique researchers of key projects have chance of getting approval from the Government.
Even if the foreigners who are allowed to enter China are required to present a nucleic acid test report authorized by the Chinese government within 5 days before entering China to board the airplane. When foreigners enter Mainland China, they also need to be quarantined for 14 days as the observation period mandated by China‘s health authorities.
New Policy about the Foreigners looking to return to China
However, in order to promote international economic development, we expect the policy to ease further. On August 10th, 2020, the Chinese Government announced certain changes for foreigners looking to return to China. The citizens of European countries (listed below) who hold relevant Chinese valid residence permits (work, private affairs and reunification residence permits) can apply to the embassies and consulates in their countries for a new visa to return to China. That means they do not need to apply the PU letter in China.
