Expats have traditionally relocated to China to fill senior positions in international companies based in one of the major cities, have moved there to start up their own business, or go there to teach English. Especially in Shenzhen, the fast-growing economy makes it an appealing place to move to for anyone seeking new opportunities in a thriving and lively city. Whereas expats working in Shenzhen will need to acquire both work permit and work-type residence permits. According to our experiences on working visa application, most of expats would like to ask what they should do in their country.

It should be noted that expats applying for a Chinese visa from somewhere other than their country of origin will have to submit additional documents such as work or residence permits. Fees vary depending on the applicant’s country of origin and where they are applying for their visa.
Work culture in China
Chinese business culture is dominated by guanxi, a local concept that is a more intricate take on the Western idea of networking. Much time is devoted to cultivating and maintaining relationships, as local business people rarely do business with people they don't know and trust.
Related to the concept of guanxi is 'saving face'. It’s important that expats always conduct themselves in a dignified manner and avoid offending or embarrassing their Chinese associates at all costs.
Integrating into Chinese corporate culture can be quite a challenge for Western expats. The language barrier, in particular, may take some adjustment, and expats will do well to at least learn some key phrases in Mandarin.
Despite the challenges, the expats that do manage to successfully find work and integrate into Chinese working life report high levels of satisfaction.
