STARTING yesterday, expatriates who work at
Fortune 500 companies, the country's top 500 companies, listed
companies, large-scale leading companies recognized by Guangdong
Province, top 100 taxpaying companies, industrial companies or foreign
trade companies in Shenzhen can access exclusive visa-related services,
the Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reported yesterday.
According to the public security bureau, an exclusive counter will be opened for foreign executives of such companies. Additionally, an enterprise can make an appointment two weeks in advance if there are more than 40 applicants at the company, and staffers will be sent to the company to provide on-site services.
Meanwhile, the time for handling visa-related documents has been shortened from seven days to five.
On Aug. 20, Shenzhen's entry and exit authorities launched new online services for the convenience of foreigners. Expatriates who need to apply for certifications for a lost passport or a birth certificate for their baby born in China can log onto www.szga.gov.cn to complete the application.
Applicants need to fill out an online application form and upload the images of the materials as required.
In the past, the application formalities for expats were less convenient. Foreigners who had lost their passports had to go to the processing hall of the immigration office to fill out a form before submitting a lost article report at the police station before the applications could be processed.
Foreigners who wanted to apply for a birth certificate for their children born in China had to make an appointment online before submitting all of the required documents, including original passports and printed copies, to the administration hall of the entry and exit department.
