For foreign people, recruitment in China<\/strong> is perceived as something difficult. People\u2019s Republic of China<\/strong> is generally very demanding<\/strong> with international companies or candidates and employees who are not Chinese. The Chinese job market is in full growth<\/strong>, it is therefore a very attractive<\/strong> market<\/strong> for foreign companies, and before making up your mind and implement over there, you have to analyze<\/strong> this special market. Differences in culture<\/strong> between western countries and Asian countries have an impact on business<\/strong> in general, and that\u2019s why we must know more about the different Chinese laws<\/strong> and the functioning of their companies before taking the plunge. In this article, we will try to shed a light on this subject by listing the different procedures required<\/strong> to work<\/strong> or recruit in China,<\/strong> in order to make things easier for you if you decide to go ahead and not to get lost in red tape or worse, illegality.\"recruitment<\/p>\n

Visa information for all<\/h2>\n

As we said in the introduction, China<\/strong> is a country very demanding when it comes to procedures<\/strong> and foreign activities<\/strong>. All foreigners, coming to visit or to work in China are entitled to a visa<\/strong> and must have a valid passport<\/strong> (it has to be valid for the whole period you spend in China, at least for 6 months<\/strong>). A touristic passport<\/strong> (visa L) is generally given for 30 days<\/strong>. Of course, just like in many countries, you won\u2019t be able to work<\/strong> or to complete an internship<\/strong> with a touristic passport. Please note that it can be different if you stay in Hong-Kong<\/strong> (where they are maybe less demanding as it is an open international business city) or in Macao<\/strong>. For example, British people<\/strong> don\u2019t need a visa to enter Hong-Kong (according to the British Foreign Office<\/strong><\/a>). You apply for a visa<\/strong> in the Chinese embassy<\/strong> of your home country or city.<\/p>\n

Be careful with your visa, since January 2013<\/strong>, China has introduced new sanctions<\/strong> for foreigners entering the Chinese territory, living here illegally<\/strong> (administrative retention of 15 days, fines, deportation). Chinese authorities can even decide not to grant you<\/strong> a visa if they consider that your presence on their soil as a danger<\/strong> to their security (because of previous travels<\/strong> for example). According to the French Foreign Office<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cmany European embassies have seen many visa requests being denied<\/strong> by the Chinese government or citizens refused at entry<\/strong> even though they had an in due form visa<\/strong>\u201d.\"chinese<\/p>\n

Also, since February 2017<\/strong>, according to the new legislation of the People\u2019s Republic Administration for Entry-Exit<\/strong>, foreign people (aged from 14 to 70) arriving in China could be subjected to fingerprinting<\/strong> (in airports and ports).<\/p>\n

So in a nutshell, if you want to abroad and try your luck there, stay informed<\/strong> about China and its relationship with your country of origin<\/strong>, be in compliance with the Chinese laws<\/strong> and keep your passport<\/strong> with you.<\/p>\n

Legal documents for companies<\/h2>\n

Implementing in China is something very difficult<\/strong> for foreign companies. You have to get visas<\/strong>, check with the Chinese Communist Party<\/strong> and with the local administration (called the CIIC \u2013 China International Intellectech Corporation<\/strong>).<\/p>\n
