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 European Union Chamber of Commerce SME Forum and the EU SME Centre 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
