Success Case | No Local HR, No Time, Wrong City — Work Permit Still Sorted
Client Background
A restaurant in Shanghai needed to transfer a service staff's work visa from Yiwu to Shanghai. Simple enough — except the timing couldn't have been worse.
Key Challenge
The employee's visa was expiring within days. Their passport was being held by the Yiwu bureau during the cancellation process, and the company's HR team was based outside Shanghai with no familiarity with local requirements. There was no buffer, no local support, and no room for error.

How AnyHelper Helped
We started by mapping out a tight, day-by-day action plan to make sure nothing fell through the cracks. We accompanied the client in person to secure a 30-day stay visa before the deadline. In parallel, we revised their employment contract — adjusting salary and terms to meet Shanghai's standards — and coordinated remotely with the out-of-town HR team to bridge the policy gaps they weren't equipped to handle locally.
Result
The work visa was granted on time. On June 24, we accompanied the client to collect their new Shanghai residence permit — fully compliant, with zero disruption to their work.
Tight deadlines, missing documents, HR teams far away — we handle the complexity so you don't have to.
