Zhang Jianguo, administrator of the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs, led a survey group to Tianjin to inspect work related to foreign experts from May 11th to 12th. Zhang discussed bringing in high-end foreign talents and how to ensure they meet with a minimum of inconvenience with officials in Tianjin.
Zhang inspected the procedures of welcoming foreign experts in Tianjin. He visited the service center where foreigners apply for a residency permit, and tried out the online service system they may use. He learned the details of classified management and online service processes. Zhang also heard a report on permanent residence permits for foreigners in Tianjin.
The Tianjin Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs has created a new service mode for foreigners to allow them to browse pertinent information online, which will reduce over 30 processes and help realize one-stop service.
The government will provide more convenience for foreigners in residency permits, social insurance, apartments, children’s education, medical treatment, and special fund applications, among other areas.
