New Online Work Permit Platform Requires Employer Action

At a Glance

• The Chinese government has migrated China's online work permit application system to a new website in an attempt to simplify and streamline the work permit application process.
• As a result of this change, employers who have registered on the previous government website must reset their password to process new work permit applications or move forward with any ongoing applications and may need to resubmit certain application documents.
• There may be temporary technical issues on the new website during the implementation phase of the system.

The situation

The Chinese government has migrated China's online work permit application system to a new Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security website called the National Human Resources and Social Security Government Service Platform.
