SHANGHAI Luring Immigrants With Their New Migration Policies

27 Sep 2016

Shanghai is has chosen immigration as the best option to build a global center for scientific and technological innovation. The two different types of visa which are in existence for ordinary foreign employees and foreign experts will be streamlined into one unified work permit.

Under this visa foreign workers will be categorized as A,B and C, where A stands for top talented , B is categorized for professional talent, C for unskilled workers. However government informed that this implementation is still being under review, government is going to launch pilot scheme initially in nine provinces and cities including Shanghai.

Another new policy announced by Shanghai allows International students to find employment in the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone and the Shanghai Zhangjiang National innovation Demonstration Zone, which is indeed a great relief for the International students who were not allowed to work in Shanghai without having at least 2 years of experience. This proves that Shanghai is not only trying to keep outstanding international talents at local universities but also attract graduates from other zone top universities.

The most important policy announced was to lower the income threshold to apply for permanent residency , this allows the expats to come closer to their dream of getting eligible for the PR visa.
