To support foreign business expats working and residing in China, the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, in collaboration with relevant departments, has developed the 2024 edition of "A Guide to Working and Living in China as Business Expatriates".

This comprehensive guide comprises four parts: Notes, Daily Life Services, Services for Stay and Residence in China, and Relevant Services for Work in China. It addresses essential matters such as residence registration, SIM card acquisition, bank card application, residence and work permits, social insurance, mobile payment, transportation, individual income tax payment, and more.

We are committed to updating this guide annually to align with changes in relevant policies and procedures.
