5.5 Sending Your Chinese Staff Abroad

Every country has its own regulations about what documentation needs to be submitted for various

visa types.

Chambers of Commerce in China, including the American, German and Australian Chambers, can

be extremely helpful in coordinating visa applications for Chinese staff to work abroad and advising

employers what supporting documentation is necessary.

This documentation may include:

• Letters confirming employment at the entity in China.

• Paper pay-slips (preferably on security paper) issued to the employee for past months which will

show length of employment and amount of salary received.

• Letters explaining details of the work carried out at the China entity, reasons why the company

would like to send the employee abroad and future prospects for the employee at the China

entity upon returning from foreign countries.

This documentation should be stamped with the company chop and include the name of a person

at the company who can be contacted by a consular official.
