In accordance with the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on the Arrangement of Some Holidays in 2022, it’s Labour Day from April 30 (Sat.) to May 4 (Wed.), 2022, and the business of online approval for foreigner’s work permit in China will be available on April 24(Sun.) and May 7 (Sat.). The reopening date of municipal windows for offline service will be announced separately.

To further implement Covid-19 prevention and control measures, reduce crowd gathering or population flow, provide relief to businesses, and provide more convenience for foreign talents and employers, during the pandemic period, the verification process that requires on-site examination and acceptance is replaced by "video verification + remote acceptance" based on the current "Online Approval" for foreigner’s work permit in China. STCSM (SAFEA) will strengthen post-operational oversight for supervision and random verification of the original documents required.  For more information, please dial 12345, 8008205114 (landline), 4008205114 (mobile phone), and press 9 for dedicated staff service directly.
