Client Background
A Turkish professional with over a decade of senior management experience at major companies in China. He had been living and working in China for years – but now faced a problem.
At over 60 years old, he no longer qualified for a work permit under the latest age restrictions. His current work visa was about to expire.
He wanted to stay in China long‑term. He needed to travel in and out for business. And he needed a legal solution – fast.

What We Found
The client's situation was straightforward – but the solution wasn't.
Age limit – Under current work visa rules, applicants over 60 are no longer eligible for a work permit. There was no way around it.
Visa expiring soon – His current residence permit was running out. He had limited time to secure an alternative.
Business needs – He needed to stay in China and maintain flexibility for frequent business trips abroad.
The standard path was blocked. We needed to find another way.

What We Did
We designed a practical alternative.
Company setup – We helped the client establish a wholly foreign‑owned enterprise (WFOE) in China, with himself as the legal representative.
Business visa sponsorship – Using the newly incorporated company as the inviting entity, we applied for a long‑term business visa (M‑visa) on his behalf – which allowed him to stay legally and travel freely without the need for a work permit.
We handled everything from company registration to visa application – all within a tight timeline.
The Result
From start to finish, the entire process took just one month.
The client obtained his business license and secured the long‑term business visa – all without leaving China. He can now continue his business activities without disruption, and travel in and out of the country as needed.
Key Takeaway
When the usual path is blocked, the right alternative makes all the difference. We found a legal, compliant, and fast solution – and delivered it in 30 days.
