Things You need to Know about Obtaining a China Work Visa

In our previous blog, we talked about how to get a Chinese residence permit. One of the ways of obtaining the residence permit is from a work visa. Some may have question or opinion that it is difficult to get a work visa. In fact, it is not that difficult. You need to meet some requirements:

1.You need to be an expert that China needs for example a professor at a university, a manager of the well known company, an English teacher with certificates of TESOL and teaching experience, a researcher of high tech industry, coaches or players of sports teams in China, or
2.You are employed by a Chinese company for example you have special talent that it is hard to find such talent in China and this Chinese company must employ you, or
3.You open a company by yourself. You are the legal person, investor and shareholder.

In most cases, the government requires applicants to have at least 2 years work experience if they are bachelor degree holders or have higher degrees. If they are diploma holders or have lower diplomas, they need to have 5 years work experience.

Usually, it is hard for a primary school or a junior middle school graduate to apply for work visa but the case is different if they open the company by themselves and they are the boss of the company.

China welcomes talents and investment. For many people, the best way to obtain a China work visa is by opening a company.

How to open a company in China?
Let’s take the city of Guangzhou China for example. If applicants are in Guangzhou, they need to provide the passport original and original bank reference letter from countries or areas outside of China. If applicants are not in China, they need to provide passport notarization from foreign affair department of their home country and get it approved by Chinese embassy or consulates located in their home country as well as an original bank reference letter from countries or areas outside of China.
Of course, you will need an office for opening a company. If you want to do business, you can find a physical office and get the rental contract. If you just want a China work visa without the willing of doing business, you can find someone who can provide you with a virtual office and a rental contract for that. The virtual office is an office address for you to register a company but you can not operate the business at this office. Of course, some virtual address can let you apply for work visa but some can not. You need to ask carefully about this.
