After the adoption of the revised Service Guide, the insurance requirement has been introduced. How to judge the valid period of the work permit for foreigners in China?


Policy interpretation: The valid period of a work permit for foreigners in China should be judged and determined comprehensively in accordance with related policies and requirements. The valid period of a work permit for foreigners in China is closely related with the following three factors. 1. The valid period of the passport of the applicant. 2. The valid period of the labor contract signed by the applicant with the employer. 3. The valid period of the insurance of the applicant. The authority will reach a comprehensive judgement based on these three factors and provide a valid period of the work permit not longer than the shortest of the three valid periods.


Case: Foreigner A, entered the borders of China with a work visa. Now A wants to apply for a work permit for foreigners in China (Category B). The passport of A will expire in October 2025. The labor contract signed with the employer will be valid from August 5, 2019 to July 31, 2020. The valid period of commercial insurance purchased by the employer for A is from August 5, 2019 to May 30, 2020. So when the application materials of the applicant are complete, the valid period of the work permit obtained by A ultimately will be within May 30, 2020 from the date of approval by the authority.


Warm reminder: Each employer should carefully learn the new edition of the Service Guide, purchase commercial insurance or social security for the foreigner to be recruited according to actual conditions, and keep a close watch on the valid period of the insurance for later employment of foreign talents in the future.
