What does a labor visa mean?

Labor visa refers to the type of visa held by foreigners to work in China. Labor visas are usually applicable to employees from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and other countries who intend to work in China and get paid. Therefore, foreigners can work in China by applying for a labor visa, but the holder of the labor visa is not allowed to take the place of work through financial transactions, study or other means.

In China, foreigners holding labor visas are often under strict supervision. According to China's immigration law, foreigners holding labor visas must abide by China's laws and regulations and work in strict accordance with the posts and employers stipulated in the visa. During the visa period, foreigners need to renew their work permit once a year and renew it before the visa expires.

All kinds of materials and certificates are needed to apply for a labor visa. Applicants need to submit valid passports, labor contracts, labor dispatch agreements, salary certificates, business licenses of employers, certificates of labor service companies and other certificates and documents. In addition, the applicant needs to fill out an application form and pay the corresponding visa fee. These requirements and procedures may vary according to the country or region where foreigners live, so you must consult the local consulate or embassy in China before applying for a labor visa.
