Visa & Mandatory Insurance for Foreigners in China | Inter-Chamber SME Working Group Meeting

Beijing, China | September 16, 2015

Sep 16, 2015

 

Companies have experienced difficulties obtaining visa for foreign interns as a number of years of work experiences are required. However, this policy seems to be flexible in Shanghai now as Shanghai has recently approved the first work permit for an international student who has just graduated. Experienced professionals, on the other hand, still encounter difficulties getting work visa in China in many cases.   

It’s important for companies and individual professionals to understand relevant policies and how they should be applied in practice. For this purpose, the EU SME Centre and the European Union Chamber of Commerce SME Forum are inviting you to this Inter-Chamber SME Working Group meeting. During the meeting, you will learn about:

  • Recent Visa Legislation and Developments
  • Main Visa Types in Your Daily Business and Their Applied Areas
  • Visa Application Procedures for Qualified Experts, Professionals and Interns
  • Latest New Rules in Shanghai  
  • Mandatory Foreign Employee Participation in China's Insurance
