Visa Details
China does not offer entrepreneur visas, digital nomad visas, or golden visas. Foreign nationals working in China require a Z visa (work visa) sponsored by the employing entity, followed by a Work Permit and Residence Permit. Work permits are categorised into A (high-end talent), B (professional talent), and C (temporary/seasonal workers). The legal representative of a WFOE can obtain a work permit through the company. Business visitors can use an M visa (business visa) for short-term activities such as trade fairs and contract negotiations, but cannot work or generate income. Some cities and FTZs offer facilitated visa processes for qualifying foreign talent.
