Suitable for foreign nationals conducting short-term work activities up to 90 days, such as technical or scientific research. A “Z” or “R” visa is required to enter China for work, which then allows for work authorization post-entry.
For individuals coming to China for business-related activities.
For short term studies lasting less than 180 days and long-term studies exceeding 180 days.
For individuals employed in China, requiring a work permit and a residence permit.
Known as the "Chinese Green Card," permanent residence in China is available to those who meet stringent criteria under categories such as investment, employment, exceptional contributions, or family reunification.
There may be various ways in which citizenship can be obtained depending on the circumstances. Please reach out to Hudson McKenzie for an assessment to determine the best route.
Consular services such as notarization, apostille, legalization, translations, and general consultations.
These visa categories and services are designed to accommodate a range of needs for visitors and residents, facilitating both short-term visits and long-term commitments in China.
