A doctor&#8217;s signature and the hospital&#8217;s seal must be on the report. Employers in China often attach a medical report to an application for an employment license, which is filed to their local labor department.<\/p>\n<p>Foreign workers in certain Chinese cities, such as Beijing, are also required to show that they have no criminal past.<\/p>\n<p>A Z visa invitation from the local Foreign Economic and Trade Commission is requested after an employment license has been accepted and given. An expat employee who is applying for a Z visa at a Chinese embassy or consulate in their home country receives these documents from the Chinese government. To get a work permit in China, an employee must go to their local labor office and fill out an application.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese residency permits<\/p>\n<p>A Temporary Residence Registration Form must be filled out and a passport <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/thesaurus\/presented\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">presented<\/a> to the local Public Security Bureau within 24 hours of arrival in China (PSB). The local PSB may be able to register expats who are staying in a hotel, but those who are staying with a Chinese citizen or in private lodgings must do so. Every time expats go outside of the nation, certain places demand them to do this task.<\/p>\n<p>The Working Foreigner&#8217;s Home Permit must be obtained at the local PSB within 30 days of arrival in addition to obtaining a work permit and registering their temporary residence.<\/p>\n<p>An expat&#8217;s evidence of legal residency in China is their Chinese residence permit. One must get approval from their local PSB and apply for a new residence permit at the PSB in their new destination in order to migrate to another area of China.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-14258\" src=\"https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/2021\/12\/20240805155040451-440x294.jpg?imageView2\/0\/format\/webp\/q\/75\" alt=\"How do I Get a Work Permit in China\" width=\"739\" height=\"494\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/2021\/12\/20240805155040451-440x294.jpg 440w, https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/2021\/12\/20240805155040451-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/2021\/12\/20240805155040451-220x147.jpg 220w, https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/2021\/12\/20240805155040451-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/2021\/12\/20240805155040451-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/2021\/12\/20240805155040451-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Within a specific period of time following the move, a new residence permit must be sought for to reflect the new address.<\/p>\n<p>When applying for a Chinese residency visa, the following documents may be required:<\/p>\n<p>Personal identification documents, such as a passport and photographs<\/p>\n<p>Biometric data such as fingerprints<\/p>\n<p>Documentation of good health.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese government granted a work permit and other supporting documents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An immigration specialist or relocation business can help you manage the complicated Chinese visa application procedure, which is notoriously demanding.
