1 Overview of the System Migration and Initial Concerns
The China Expert Bureau system is currently undergoing a significant upgrade, which started on June 3, 2024, at 9:00 AM. Users must now log into the original Expert Bureau corporate accounts via the Human Resources and Social Security Department’s “National Human Resources Administrative Service Platform” at www12333.gov.cn.
This migration may significantly impact the work visa processing workflow, as numerous clients have experienced issues such as persistent login failures, unsuccessful password resets, and slower system responses. Furthermore, the timing is particularly critical for our foreign friends who are already under tight deadlines to obtain work visas, exacerbating their already limited time.
2 Migration-Related Impacts and Advice
Impacts on Existing Expert Bureau Account Holders
All users, regardless of whether the company’s legal representative is Chinese or foreign, need to reset their passwords to continue using their accounts. Due to the ongoing system migration, the password reset process may be significantly slower.
We recognize that this could disrupt your regular operations, making it crucial to reset your password well in advance to avoid any delays in work visa processing during critical moments.
Impacts on Companies Without an Existing Expert Bureau Account
1. If the company’s legal representative is Chinese, you can register an account online directly. This process is relatively straightforward, but it is still essential to complete it ahead of time to prevent any adverse effects during the system migration period.
2. If the company’s legal representative is foreign, the registration process is more complex. You will need to contact the Human Resources Bureau, and the technical support team will assist with the initial account setup. This process is complicated and time-consuming; therefore, it is recommended to start early.
