Recently, Yunnan province's first pilot zone for "one-stop service" for foreign experts' work and residence permits was officially launched in Kunming.

According to a staff member from the pilot zone, in the past, foreign experts had to obtain a work permit before applying for a residence permit, and they had to go to two departments and submit two applications, which took nearly 20 working days. Now, applicants only need to submit one set of application documents, which only takes 10 working days before receiving all permits.

This pilot zone is the first of its kind in Yunnan province and will provide a professional and fast "one-stop service" for high-level foreign experts. In addition, translators are available for international experts to provide multi-lingual one-on-one business consultation, declaration consultation and permit services, thus eliminating language barriers and improving communication efficiency.
