Starting from December 1, 2024, Chinese authorities have announced the integration of work permits for foreigners with the electronic social security card.
Key Points of This Change:
- Abolition of Paper Work Permits: No new paper work permits will be issued. All work permit information will be uploaded to the social security card. Existing paper permits can still be used until renewal or modification.
- Simplified Procedures: With the digital system, all applications will be processed electronically, reducing paperwork and making it easier to track permit status.
- Mandatory Social Security Registration: All foreigners are required to register their information with the social security system. Registration will be necessary to access services such as health insurance and pensions.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- What happens to ongoing applications?
