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.
Do these lawyers work with foreign clients?
Many listed counsel assist foreign businesses and individuals. Check languages on each profile and request an English consultation when available.
What does a free initial intake cover?
Usually a short case assessment, whether China is the right jurisdiction, and practical next steps. It is not full representation; terms vary by lawyer.
Where to start?
See the immigration guide, then shortlist lawyers here.
