Yesterday (Jan. 30th) Guangzhou Municipal Science and Technology Bureau announced that foreigners’ work permit application will be processed online temporarily, regarding to the current situation of fighting against the novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia (2019-nCoV).
Foreigner’s work permit application will be reviewed based on their digital materials submitted when applying, and expats do not need to visit the office to submit materials by themselves. In principle the work permit and related legal materials will be sent via EMS, and delivery fee will be paid by applicators. If applicators insist to collect the work permit in the office, they should wear a surgical mask.
According to the announcement, applicators should sign a letter of commitment, declaring the materials’ authenticity and validity. Additionally if applicators agree to collect the permit via EMS, they should submit an application letter.
The announcement also indicated that this measure will be valid till further notice. For more information, please visit the official website of the Guangzhou Municipal Science and Technology Bureau (http://kjj.gz.gov.cn/xxgk/zwdt/tztg/wjgg/content/post_5645065.html in Chinese).
