Foreigners working in China face various problems, whether it is employers or foreigners themselves, which are troubled by their lack of understanding of relevant regulations, leading to companies not daring to use foreigners, foreigners not daring to seek employment in China, and even the emergence of the "three non foreigners". So this article will share this type of information with everyone. First of all, let's talk about the following question. We all know that if foreigners want to join a Chinese company, they must first obtain a work visa and then apply for a work type residence permit. So, how should a work visa and a work type residence permit be distinguished? Foreigners' work visas are issued by the Chinese embassy (consulate), stating the reason for entering China, the allowed time of stay, and the permit. They are signed (stamped) on the passport or travel document they hold; The "Residence Permit for Foreigners in the People's Republic of China" is a thin piece of paper with anti-counterfeiting markings. Foreigners holding visas that indicate that they need to obtain a residence permit after entering the country shall apply to the entry and exit management agency of the public security organ in the intended place of residence for obtaining the foreigner's residence permit within 30 days from the date of entry. Article 8 of the "Regulations on the Administration of Employment of Foreigners in China" stipulates that foreigners employed in China shall enter the country with a Z-visa (if there is a mutual visa exemption agreement, it shall be handled according to the agreement), and only after entering the country can they obtain a foreigner's employment permit and residence permit before they can work in China. Article 41 of the Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that foreigners working within China shall obtain work permits and work related residence permits in accordance with regulations. No unit or individual shall hire foreigners who have not obtained a work permit or work related residency.
