China plans to introduce a new visa regime titled "talent introduction" in an effort to attract more skilled professionals from abroad.
A draft law in this regard has been submitted to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, for its second reading today.
Ordinary visas will be granted to foreigners who enter the country to work,
study, visit relatives, travel or conduct business and to those who qualify for the talent introduction category, the draft said. Yin Weimin, the Minister of Human Resources and Social Security, said last month that China will make greater efforts to resolve issues related to overseas talents' visas and residency permits this year. China will bolster favourable treatment for them with advantageous policies in social insurance, taxation, medical services, their children's education and academic funding, among other areas, said the minister.
