Shanghai’s Pudong New Area is making big moves to welcome global talent! At the 2024 Pudong International Talent Hub Forum, officials announced 34 new measures designed to make life easier for foreign professionals looking to work, start businesses, or simply enjoy life in this dynamic region.
If you’re a foreign professional, getting in and out of China just got simpler. Pudong can now issue confirmation letters directly to top-tier talent, helping them secure multiple-entry visas for everything from academic exchanges to business visits. And it’s not just you—your family members can join you with the same documents.
They’re also rolling out a new electronic visa system across Pudong. Say goodbye to paperwork! The entire process is online, so you won’t need to submit any paper documents or even your original passport. When you arrive, just show your passport and e-visa, and you’re good to go.
But it’s not just about visas. Pudong is ramping up international education and healthcare services to make living there even more convenient. Their goal? To build a top-notch community that feels like home, no matter where you’re from.
Since becoming a “new area” in 1990, Pudong has transformed into a hotspot for investors and innovators. These new measures show that Pudong is serious about attracting and keeping the world’s best and brightest.
