    Foreign nationals applying for employment-based permanent residence must have had their work-related residence permits issued in Beijing for the\u00a0four years<\/strong>\u00a0preceding the application.If the initial two years of residence permits were issued in Shanghai, followed by two years in Beijing, the Beijing immigration office would\u00a0not<\/strong> accept the application, even if the individual’s income tax was consistently paid in Beijing.\"\"<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

    Companies in Suzhou planning to hire foreign nationals must ensure that their actual office address matches the registered address on their business license.

    In February 2024, a new policy was introduced, significantly simplifying the work card application process for foreign nationals.For those who submit a new work permit application\u00a0within one month<\/strong>\u00a0of cancelling their residence permit due to resignation, there is no need to provide a non-criminal record certificate and a medical examination report.However, if the cancellation of the residence permit exceeds one month, regardless of whether it is the first time applying for a work card, applicants must resubmit a non-criminal record certificate with Hague Apostille to the Foreign Expert Bureau.<\/p>\n

    Applications submitted\u00a0more than three months<\/strong> after cancellation are treated as entirely new, requiring both a non-criminal record certificate with Hague Apostille and a medical examination report. The original medical examination report must be presented when processing the residence permit at the immigration office.<\/p>\n

This certificate serves as an essential document for permanent residence applications.\"\"<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
