Processing accelerated to entice top talent

HONGKOU District has shortened the process for highly skilled foreigners applying for work permits to just four days.

The effort is part of a citywide trend to simplify the application process to attract key foreign professionals.

The district’s talent development service center recently issued a work permit to a Chinese Canadian involved in the wind-power industry in four working days because he is a “talent in short supply,” the district government said yesterday.

It normally requires 20 working days to process a work permit.

The “one-stop” service center on 1230 Zhongshan Road N. can also offer other services such as social security, taxation advice, as well as entry and exit services for foreign professionals.

Citywide, the Pudong New Area, Xuhui and Changning districts have also been offering more convenient services to entice top foreign talent.

Similar to what Hongkou is doing, the downtown Xuhui and Changning districts have opened one-stop service centers for key foreign workers on 969 Nanning Road and 999 Jinzhong Road.

Overseas professionals can also apply for both work and residence permits via the Xuhui government’s comprehensive online service platform.
