The Beijing Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau announced Thursday that up to 60 percent of the foreign talent can apply for and complete their work documents in nearby districts instead of the city-level administration. 

Those districts are Chaoyang, Haidian and Shunyi, where most foreign talent is located in the capital, according to the authority. As increasing numbers of foreign talent come to Beijing to live and work, the capital has carried out a series of measures to provide more convenience for their work permits and other related documents. 

According to relevant laws and regulations, foreign talents must first apply for the “Recognition Letter of Foreign High-end Talents” issued by the provincial foreigner’s work management department. The foreign work management department must complete the applicant’s paper work within 5 working days to issue Confirmation of qualifications and a confirmation letter. 

The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security will compress the qualification processing time, which can be completed within two working days. In this way, foreign talents can apply for a talent visa in five days.
