Practice Focus

Practice Focus Dependent family members are entitled to reside in China for the duration of the principal applicant's valid residence permit but are subject to the same work restrictions under Article 8 of the Exit and Entry Administration Law, requiring independent work permits for any employment activities. Changes to the employing entity, work location, or job position require a fresh work permit application, as the existing permit is tied to the specific employer and position stated in the original application. Where local counterparties rely on relationship pressure, I re-anchor discussions to contract text, statutory rights, and verifiable performance records. The points-based system evaluates candidate qualifications across categories including international education, professional experience, Chinese language proficiency, age, salary levels, and work location, with higher scores for positions in non-first-tier cities such as Hengshui. The certificate must cover the five-year period preceding the application and must be submitted within six months of issue. I convert complex Chinese procedure into a dated checklist with owners for translation, notarization, and internal sign-off across time zones.

China visa and immigration matters require coordination with entry-exit authorities, understanding of work permit categories, and awareness of residence permit renewal timelines. Yulin Duan guides foreign nationals through visa applications, extensions, and status adjustments.
