FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a lawyer for a work visa?
Straightforward cases may use HR agents; counsel helps with refusals, edge categories, or employer compliance risk.
What should an immigration intake cover?
Nationality, current visa status, the employing entity in China, the job city, and any refusal or overstay. That is enough to see whether the matter is a Z visa, a residence issue, or an employer compliance problem.
Where to start?
See the immigration guide, then shortlist lawyers here.
