Work Permit Types

Do I meet the conditions for applying for a Chinese work permit? Am I a Class A, B, or C Work Permit?

As a pilot project for the work permit system in China, Shanghai has implemented the national work permit system for foreigners from April 1, 2017. According to the new policy, the former "Foreigner's Entry Employment Permit" and "Foreign Experts' Work Permit for Work in China" are integrated into the "Work Permit for Foreigners to Come to China" and the State Foreign Experts Bureau is responsible for organizing the implementation.

The new policy will divide the work of foreigners in China into three categories. Category A (encouraged), Category B (foreign professionals, control), and Category C (foreign generals, restricted) are classified according to the classification standards for foreigners working in China. You must reach at least Category C before we can help you apply for a foreigner's work permit in China (this is a necessary document for legal work in Shanghai). Please check the following classification criteria for categories A, B, and C:

Please check the criteria for Class A work permit:

At present, the most common category A talent is a highly-paid foreigner who meets the following salary standards:

The annual wage income must reach 600,000 yuan or more, and the annual personal income tax should be more than 120,000 yuan.

If a foreigner himself or a foreigner employs a company that meets one of the following conditions, it is classified as Class A:

• A1 - Foreign talent program or honor specially introduced by governments in various parts of China

• A2 - Individual foreigners have won international professional awards

• A3 - Hiring foreign companies to meet certain standards

• A4 - Foreigners innovate in Shanghai

• A5 - Foreign Talented Persons

• A6 - Calculate point score greater than 85 points based on "Point Score Table"
