Questions and Answers about Foreigner’s work permit.

1. What does the regulation "Two-permits Integration" of foreigners work permit mean?

 The State Council Review & Revision Office officially replied to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security & the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs on December 30, 2015 withThe Opinion Letter on Affairs of Integrating Foreigners Work Permits in China (Review & Revision Office [2015] No. 95) ,from which the authority agrees to integrate the “Foreigners Employment Permit in China” and “Foreign Experts Work Permit in China” into “Foreigners Work Permit”. The State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs takes charge of implementation of the work permit.

  For a foreigner who applies for working in China for more than 90 days, the regulation "Two-permits Integration" unifies the original "Foreign Experts Work Permit" and "Foreigners Employment License" as "Notice of Work Permit for Foreigner" which is handled in electronic form. The employer and applicant can print it online. The original "Foreign Expert Certificate" and "Foreigners Employment Permit" are unified as "Foreigners Work Permit". The "Foreigners Work Permit" is the only lawful document for foreigners working in China.

  For a foreigner who applies for working in China for less than 90 days (including 90 days), he/she should apply for the foreigners work permit or the invitation letter for inviting foreign experts to China.
