Immigration in China

As a global law firm, we understand that moving an expatriate workforce seamlessly across borders — including Greater China — is critical to business success.

Our award-winning global immigration practice assists multinational companies with the movement of personnel across multiple jurisdictions, including China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. We can advise on the use of available work permit and visa categories to help meet hiring and training needs, and prepare filings to secure work, residence and travel authorization for foreign national employees. We also assist companies in the development of immigration compliance programs, and advise on protocols for expatriate transitions in the case of major business change, including consolidation, reductions in force or reorganization.

In Hong Kong, our experience includes employment and employment (investment) visas, training visas, the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme, the Quality Migrant Scheme and right of abode (permanent residency).

In China, we can assist with securing business visitor and work visas, employment licenses, foreign expert certificates, employment permits and residence permits.

Through our one-stop service, our Immigration team works closely with our Employment and Tax groups to provide comprehensive advisory services relating to cross-border mobility.
