Recently, in Songjiang District of Shanghai, applicants\u00a0transferring\u00a0<\/strong>their work permits from other cities have been asked to\u00a0re-submit their original academic degree certificates<\/strong>\u00a0for verification.<\/p>\n

This requirement applies even to those who have previously completed degree authentication or archival in other cities. Local authorities may still mandate on-site document checks when changing cities.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Recommendations:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Prepare original degree certificates and authenticated copies in advance.<\/li>\n
  • If originals are unavailable, contact your alma mater or a third-party notary for equivalent documentation to avoid delays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This reflects heightened scrutiny of academic credentials in parts of Shanghai, especially for first-time workers in the city or those with degrees from non-standard institutions.<\/p>\n

    Chengdu has significantly tightened its approval standards for\u00a0new\u00a0<\/strong>work permit applications. Authorities now require:<\/p>\n
      \n
    • A direct correlation between the applicant\u2019s degree major and the job position.<\/li>\n
    • A minimum of\u00a0two years<\/strong>\u00a0of relevant work experience.<\/li>\n
    • Verifiable employment history (e.g., through social insurance records or official reference letters). Inadequate documentation may lead to outright rejection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      In Guangzhou, the local foreign expert bureau has begun requiring additional\u00a0operational documentation<\/strong>\u00a0from small or newly established businesses applying for work visa\u00a0extensions<\/strong>. These may include:<\/p>\n
        \n
      • Company bank transaction records,<\/li>\n
      • Office lease agreements,<\/li>\n
      • Social insurance contributions for employees,<\/li>\n
      • Tax filings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \ud83d\udccc Important Reminder:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        For small-scale taxpayers or recently founded companies, the completeness of operational documentation is critical to visa renewal success. Company representatives and foreign employees should prepare all supporting materials in advance to prevent rejection or returned applications.<\/p>\n

        Some Chinese expatriates have recently seen their family reunification-based permanent residency applications denied. The primary reason is that\u00a0while the applicants have obtained foreign citizenship, their marriage certificates were registered using their Chinese ID cards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        Under current regulations, such certificates are deemed\u00a0invalid<\/strong>\u00a0and cannot serve as proof of marriage for residency applications.<\/p>\n
