To attract the best talent from abroad, China has started giving long-term visas so that they can work there. China's state media reports that this multi entry visa is five to ten years old.
The country is particularly interested in attracting technology experts, entrepreneurs and scientists. It seems very important to attract the best talent from abroad to implement China's goal for its economic and social development. The initiative to give this long-term visa was first, when China said that about 50 thousand foreigners would get the opportunity.
Who can apply:
China's long-term visa can be applied online. The Chinese government says no fees are taken for this, and these applications are considered very quickly. Those who are granted visas will be able to stay in China for a continuous 180 days at a time. They can bring their wives and children to China.
In 2016, China released an index that marked the need of any kind of foreign worker in the country. The number of unskilled workers is reduced to more meritorious foreign workers. Those who have been mentioned in the list of the best talented people in the Chinese government, are the Nobel laureates, successful Olympic athletes, and directors of the world's renowned institutions of music or art.
Top scientists, major financial institutions or prominent university professors are also on this list.
