CHINA: Relaxed Visa Rules for Top Talent
January 8, 2018
Effective 1st January 2018, new regulations for the “R Visa” for high-level talent allow multiple stays in China of up to 180 days at a time, with a validity of up to ten years, a streamlined online application system and reduced processing times.
Who qualifies?
Those qualifying as top talent include highly-qualified scientists, international entrepreneurs and others with specific, high-level, in-demand skills – similar to the qualifying criteria for “Category A” work permits.
The same visa privileges will be granted to the qualifying applicant’s spouse and children.
