Visas are required for expatriates working in or moving to China with Foreign Invested Enterprises along with their accompanying family members. Prior to their departure, expatriates need to apply for a visa at a Chinese diplomatic mission, embassy, consulate or other representatives in foreign countries authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Chinese visa processes are known for being notoriously difficult to complete. Immigration procedures are carried out at a local level, and each locality has a unique structure. This means that expats who apply for a work permit in China will need to fulfill different requirements depending on the area they will be working. After entering the country with their Z Visa, an expat should apply for work and residence permits for China as soon as possible after their arrival.
Although there are differences between each city’s immigration and labour processes, there are a few standard requirements that expat employees will need to comply with:
• A ‘Z Visa’ needs to be obtained prior to arrival in China.
• The work permit application has to be sponsored by a locally registered company in China.
• The individual needs to live and work in the same region as their sponsoring company.
• A medical examination is required.
