Foreign work permits to be simplified
Print Edition
CHINA will pilot a program to streamline work application papers for foreigners in an effort to attract more talent.
The pilot scheme, which unifies two work permits required by foreigners to just one, will cover the cities of Shanghai, Beijing, and Tianjin as well as Hebei, Anhui, Shandong, Guangdong and Sichuan provinces and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, from October to March, according to the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs.
Under the current system, foreigners are allowed to apply for two types of work permit: an employment license for foreign employees and a foreign expert work permit for top talent, which are issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and SAFEA respectively.
The trial will unify the two permits into a single work permit, making it easier for foreigners to work in China, said Gao Xiang, director of the Department of Policies and Regulations under SAFEA.
The new work permit will be the legal credential for foreigners to work in China, Gao said, adding that the new permit would be applied to foreigners across the country when the trial ended next April.
Moreover, some application materials would no longer be needed when foreigners applied for the new work permit, such as a personal resume.
Foreign workers will be classified into categories A, B and C — with A being top talent; B professional talent; C for unskilled workers or those working in the service industry.
The country will take measures to encourage the introduction of top talent while limiting B and C categories, which are less needed.
