China will allow the entry of foreign nationals holding three categories of valid Chinese residence permits starting on Monday, according to an announcement jointly made by the Foreign Ministry and the National Immigration Administration.
China has taken measures to restrict the entry of foreigners to prevent the increased risk of imported novel coronavirus cases, but foreigners engaged in necessary activities in China can reapply for visas from Chinese embassies and consulates abroad, a senior official with the National Immigration Administration said.
For those looking to work in China there are certain steps that must be taken to obtain a China "Z Visa", also known as a work visa.
If you intend to go to China to study, you must obtain a Study Visa (X), unless your studies will last for less than 6 months, in which case, you can apply for a Business Visa (F).
