Work & Residency Pathways for Austrian Citizens
Information based on current research for Austrian citizens wishing to live and work in the People's Republic of China.
Austrian citizens currently enjoy visa-free entry for up to 15 days for tourism, business, and family visits. However, for employment purposes, a valid Work (Z) Visa is still required before entry.
Austrian citizens primarily apply for the Z Visa (Work) or the M Visa (Business) for long-term activities. The Z Visa is the foundation for obtaining a long-term residence permit in China.
The standard visa for foreigners working in China. Requires a Foreigner's Work Permit notification and conversion to a residence permit within 30 days of arrival.
For top-tier professionals and scientists. Offers 10-year multi-entry with stays of up to 180 days per entry and simplified procedures.
Your Chinese employer handles the initial work permit notification with the Ministry of Science and Technology.
