Q: I have been told that foreigner who intends to work in China shall apply for employment permission, obtain Employment License, and then apply for Employment Permit. How to apply for those two certificates? Can I start working for my employer after receiving my Employment License?
A: If employment is going to occur between the employer in Shanghai and a foreigner, the employer shall apply to the Labor Bureau of Shanghai for Employment License before the entry of the foreigner. After the application is approved, Employment License of the foreigner shall be granted to the employer. Then the employer shall visit authorized organizations and go through formalities for the Z visa notification. After the entry of the foreigner with Z visa, the employer shall apply to the Labor Bureau of Shanghai for the Employment Permit with relevant documents such as the Employment License, then apply to the entry-exit administration department for the residence permit by presenting the Employment Permit. Only on completion of these procedures can the foreigner work and reside in Shanghai legally. Employment between holder of a mere Employment License and employer is illegal.
