On December 2nd, the "Single Window for Foreigners' Work Permit and Residence Permit" in the Shanghai Exit-Entry Administration Bureau went into service, where foreigners who meet the requirements for application of a class A work permit can submit work permit and residence permit applications at the same time.
After the application is approved jointly by Shanghai Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs and the Shanghai Exit-Entry Administration Bureau, those two certificates can be issued within 7 working days.
Before the "Single Window" was enabled, as per the original process, the time limit for application and approval of the two is 10 working days and 7 working days respectively, and the whole application process is 17 working days, which is a lot less efficient than it is now.
As of now, for Shanghai Public Security Bureau, the next step is to complete the integration of "one-door service" of the work permit and residence permit acceptance window for experts in the Shanghai Exit-Entry Administration Bureau.
Besides, an online booking platform for foreigners to work and stay will also be set up soon.
In addition to Shanghai, it is understood that among some other big cities including Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Hangzhou, there is also a new policy on work and residence permit recently released in Chengdu.
On November 6th, the Exit & Entry Administration Department of Chengdu Public Security Bureau updated a policy, where foreigners who come to China to participate in the Belt and Road construction key projects, important cooperation or major projects; they and their spouses and minor children, who need to stay in China will benefit as well. The time limit for the exit and entry administration of the public security organ to issue a residence permit is shortened from 15 working days to 5 working days.
