Legal basis:

The key subject "Dr. Yang" released in the 4.0 version of "Foreigners do not need to meet for approval of work permit in China" can directly apply for talent visa.

On the basis of the first three versions, the approval of "no meeting" for foreigners' work permit in China in version 4.0 has once again achieved a policy breakthrough, mainly including three aspects. First, more professionals should be included in the category of foreign high-end talents. Version 4.0 directly includes foreign young talents, such as foreign researchers in scientific research teams, recent doctoral graduates in key disciplines such as science, engineering, agriculture and medicine, etc., into the scope of application of the confirmation letter for foreign high-end talents, allowing them to directly apply for a foreign talent visa (R-visa) and enjoy related treatment such as material reduction and simplification. Visa for foreign talents (R visa) is valid for 5 years to 10 years, with multiple entry, and each stay time is 180 days. Their spouses and minor children will also receive corresponding multiple-entry visas with the same validity period. For the foreign scientific and technological talents that employers really need, version 4.0 stipulates that the restrictions on age, education and work experience can be relaxed, so that they can enjoy more "green channel" treatment and be promoted from foreign professionals (Class B) to foreign high-end talents (Class A). If foreign scientific and technological talents need to work part-time, innovate and start businesses in Shanghai, the employing unit does not need to re-apply or change the work permit after reporting to the Municipal Science and Technology Commission (Municipal Bureau of Foreign Experts Affairs).

The second breakthrough is to take the lead in implementing the commitment system for foreign scientific and technological talents with no criminal record in China. On the basis of the current commitment of foreign high-end talents (Class A) to have no criminal record, Version 4.0 stipulates that foreign scientific and technological talents employed by employers in this city can refer to foreign high-end talents (Class A) and implement the system of "notification+commitment" to prove that they have no criminal record, that is, foreign talents directly promise "no criminal record" on the application form without submitting additional proof and proof materials of no criminal record. Employers and foreigners should ensure the authenticity of the letter of commitment, and government departments will strengthen supervision afterwards.

The third breakthrough is to increase efforts to attract foreign high-skilled talents. According to the relevant documents of the Classification Standard for Foreigners Working in China, in order to attract more foreign high-skilled talents to work in Shanghai, the city officially opened the channel of "skilled talents with international general vocational qualification certificates or urgently needed" among "foreign professionals", and divided foreign high-skilled talents into three categories: "skilled talents with national general foreign vocational qualification certificates", "skilled talents urgently needed by the city" and "skilled talents with other international general vocational skills", and further relaxed the age to 70.
