To employers and foreign talents concerned,

According to the adjustment of relevant policies, in order to meet the needs of employers to resume work and production, we hereby notify the following matters concerning the handling of work permits for foreigners in Beijing.

First, according to the notices of Chinese embassies and consulates abroad, the following foreigners can directly apply to China's overseas visa authorities for visas by presenting valid Notification Letter of Foreigner’s Work Permit, Foreigner’s Work Permit or kinship certificate, without submitting invitation letter (PU letter). They are foreigners who have been approved by authorities to work in China, and foreign family members of those who have returned to work (including foreigners already working in China).

For specific information, please visit the official website or WeChat official account of relevant overseas visa authorities, or consult the visa processing agencies.

Second, Beijing Overseas Talents Center (BOTC) is responsible for handling Foreigner’s Work Permit and Notification Letter of Foreigner’s Work Permit. In order to prevent and control the epidemic, employers are encouraged to submit documents to nearby responsible agencies or apply through the online approval process. BOTC will try its best to ensure the resumption of work and production of foreign talents according to relevant requirements and optimized measures.
