past applications, many foreign nationals were able to obtain Category B successfully not because their salary met the threshold, but because their\u00a0<strong>\u201coverall qualifications matched.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The common pathways have actually included:<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf matching academic qualifications with work experience (for example, a bachelor\u2019s degree plus two years of relevant experience)<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf matching the position with the employer\u2019s business needs (especially for shortage occupations or technical roles)<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf meeting the standard through the points-based system<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf and, of course, meeting the salary threshold<\/p>\n<p>In other words, salary has only ever been one pathway, not the sole standard.<\/p>\n<p>This is also why, for a long period of time, many people were still able to work steadily, renew their permits, and remain in China long term even if their income did not reach the so-called \u201chigh salary\u201d level.<\/p>\n<p>So why has anxiety increased so noticeably this time?<\/p>\n<p>Because the key change this time is not merely that \u201cthe threshold has been raised,\u201d but that the structure of the available pathways is changing.<\/p>\n<p>Among all these changes, one of the most easily overlooked but most consequential points is this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>60 years old is becoming a very clear dividing line.<\/strong><\/p>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section><strong>After 60, Many Previously Viable

this threshold is crossed.<\/p>\n<p>For many foreign employees who have worked in China for years, this change often comes very suddenly.<\/p>\n<p>They may:<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf have worked for the same company for many years<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf hold a stable position with steady income<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf have renewed their permits successfully every year<\/p>\n<p>As a result, it is natural for them to form

Question<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>Once the Category B pathway closes, many people naturally begin to think of the points-based system. Under the previous rules, applicants could use the points-based system up to age 65 as long as they reached 60 points; now they need to reach 85 points in order to apply under Category A.<\/p>\n<p>From a rules perspective, this is indeed a possible pathway, but in practice, the level of difficulty is often underestimated. The reason is simple\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>age itself is an important source of points in the scoring system.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the age of 60, this part of the score declines significantly, or may no longer provide any advantage at all; at the same time, the overall qualifying threshold remains relatively high (usually around 85 points).<\/p>\n<p>This means the applicant must make up the gap\u00a0<strong>through other dimensions<\/strong>, such as a higher salary, stronger academic credentials, or more outstanding employer qualifications.<\/p>\n<p>But for most people who are already in the later stage of their careers, these conditions are\u00a0<strong>not<\/strong>\u00a0things that can be substantially improved in a short period of time.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section><strong>A Recent Case Shows How a Previously Stable Renewal Path Can Suddenly Collapse<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<section><\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<section><\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>One typical case we encountered recently involved two clients from the same company last week.<\/p>\n<p>One of them was already over 60 and had previously renewed steadily through Category B; his strengths did not lie in salary, but in experience, job role, and company background.<\/p>\n<p>But when preparing for renewal this time, he discovered for the first time that the path that had once seemed entirely straightforward had suddenly become unworkable, and he could only obtain a one-year grace period.<\/p>\n<p>After Category B was no longer available, he did not meet the salary threshold for Category A, and the points-based route also became extremely difficult after he lost the age-related score advantage.<\/p>\n<p>The question he asked us was actually very direct:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo now, do I still have any other options?\u201d<\/p>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section><strong>When the Number of Pathways Shrinks, the Issue Is No Longer Just Whether You Meet the Conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<section><\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<section><\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>Many people reduce the issue to this:\u00a0<b><\/b>perhaps they are not outstanding enough, or their qualifications are not strong enough.<\/p>\n<p>But a more accurate way to put it is this: are you still within a pathway that is permitted for staying?<\/p>\n<p>The previous system placed greater emphasis on \u201cwhether you had the capability\u201d; the current trend, by contrast, is gradually shifting toward whether you satisfy a higher-tier screening standard.<\/p>\n<p>This is why some people have not become less qualified, yet suddenly find that the path they once considered stable is beginning to weaken.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1503 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/anychinavisa.com\/news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/03263-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anychinavisa.com\/news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/03263-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anychinavisa.com\/news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/03263-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/anychinavisa.com\/news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/03263-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/anychinavisa.com\/news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/03263.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section><strong>A Work Permit Has Never Really Been a Long-Term Stable Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<section><\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<section><\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>This round of changes has prompted many people to rethink one question:<b><\/b>what exactly does a work permit mean?<\/p>\n<p>For a long time, it was implicitly treated as equivalent to \u201cbeing able to stay for the long term\u201d;<\/p>\n<p>but from the perspective of the system itself, it is closer to a form of\u00a0<strong>\u201cstage-based authorization.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It depends on:<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf the current policy environment<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf the condition of the employer<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf the individual\u2019s continued ability to satisfy certain standards<\/p>\n<p>And not one of these factors is entirely stable.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section>\n<section><strong>More and More People Are Beginning to Focus on Status Itself<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<section><\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<section><\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>Recently, we have clearly felt another shift:<b><\/b>people coming to us for consultation are moving from asking \u201chow to renew\u201d to asking \u201chow to stay for the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the question is shifting from \u201cCan this be processed this year?\u201d to \u201cCan this continue to be processed in the future?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once that perspective changes, many people begin to realize that\u2014rather than repeatedly responding to changing thresholds, it may be better to consider a more stable solution.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past two weeks, we have noticed a very clear shift in the consultations we receive.
