Shanghai

Shanghai is an international economic, financial, shipping and commercial center. It is also a national transportation hub and a key player in manufacturing. A cosmopolitan, multicultural city with a unique history, it is both traditional and modern—a product of both Chinese history and culture and Western influences. Across the country, China’s immigration processes vary widely based on location and can be lengthy, unpredictable and complex. Fragomen in Shanghai has the experience and knowledge to help companies navigate these processes smoothly and efficiently.

Fragomen opened our first China office in Shanghai in 2004. Our Shanghai team serves as a true “one-stop-shop” for companies in need of guidance on work authorization processes across Greater China, and business visas, consular process and document procurement requirements in many jurisdictions worldwide, including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Our professionals regularly work with the Public Security Bureau, Labour Bureau and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This experience helps us to form effective strategies for complex and unusual circumstances, as well as anticipate and address the implications of frequently changing local immigration processes. In some instances, we even provide more remote government entities with insight into how immigration applications are processed in larger cities.
