Do I need to transfer my account to join JD.com in Hangzhou?

You do not need to transfer your account to join JD.com in Hangzhou. Hangzhou Jingdong Century Trading Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of JD.com, is a qualified foreign-invested enterprise. The reason why its employees do not need to transfer their household registration when joining the company is because the Chinese government has implemented certain relaxation policies in the management of foreign-invested enterprises, allowing foreign investment. Enterprises can hire foreign personnel and Chinese citizens holding foreign passports without residence restrictions. Therefore, when foreign-invested companies like JD.com recruit and hire employees, there are no restrictions on their registered residence. They can determine the entry location and required procedures based on recruitment needs and employees’ personal wishes.
