Beijing: As part of Beijing’s continuous efforts to position himself as a world leader in those sectors prior to the United States, China has introduced a new visa program to attract foreign talent in the field of science and technology.
The Chinese measure, announced in August, is in stark contrast to the recent American policy, in which the Trump administration suddenly introduces new and expensive changes to its own competent employee visa last month.
The new K -visa of China considerably simplifies the immigration process for those who are eligible, according to the state media considerably.
“Against the background of some countries that withdraw, turn in and put on international talent, China has seized this important opportunity and immediately introduced this policy,” said Daily’s Daily of State Krant in a commentary on Tuesday.
Unlike many other visa categories, the K -Vision does not require a domestic employer or entity to issue an invitation to the applicant.
“K Visa offers holders more convenience in terms of the number of permitted entries, validity period and duration of residence,” said State News Agency Xinhua in August.
The official description for those who can apply is “young foreign scientific and technological talents”, but the exact age, educational background and work experience requirements that are needed are still unclear.
Xinhua said that visa holders will be able to “participate in trade fairs in areas such as education, culture and science and technology, as well as relevant entrepreneurial and business activities”.
The American technical industry has been rattled over the Atlantic Ocean due to unexpected changes to the Trump administration in the H-1B visa procedure.
With H -1Bs, companies can sponsor foreign employees with specialized skills – such as scientists, engineers and computer programmers – to work in the United States for three years, with a possible expansion of up to six.
Such visas are widely used by the technical industry, but the new H-1B visa policy now requires a one-off reimbursement of $ 100,000.
Indian subjects are good for almost three -quarters of the permits that have been assigned every year through a lottery system.
The daily article of the People on Tuesday pushed back to what the “strange rumors” called the new visa that created “immigration problems” in China.
“The so -called” immigration crisis “will not come true, we must have cultural confidence,” said it.
