To employers,
responsible agencies, and foreign talents concerned:
各用人单位、各受理机构，外籍人才：
Considering the recent grim situation of the epidemic, in order to fulfill the requirements of epidemic prevention, continuously optimize the business environment, ensure people’s health and foreigners’ work in Beijing, we adopt the following measures to facilitate Foreigner’s Work Permit service.
由于近期疫情形势严峻，为落实好疫情防控要求，持续优化营商环境，保障办事群众身体健康和外籍申请人在京、来京顺利工作，现就外国人来华工作许可服务事项实行以下便利化措施：
First, tax records can be exempted. In applications for permit extension, cancellation, and other matters that involve salary commitments, foreign applicants who cannot go to the tax bureaus to get the required tax records due to Covid-19 can upload an explanation in the online system and promise to cooperate with the authorities in possible checks later. Meanwhile foreign applicants still need to provide the screenshot of personal tax withholding details from the Natural Person Electronic Tax Bureau (Withholding End).
一、免提供纳税记录。涉及薪资承诺事项，需提供外籍申请人纳税记录，但因疫情无法前往税务局开具的，在系统中上传情况说明，并承诺配合此后抽查，可免提供;但需上传自然人电子税务局(扣缴端)个人扣缴明细查询的截屏。
Second, the Online Approval Process for Foreigner’s Work Permit is expanded. Besides work permit extension, information change, cancellation, reissue, change of employers, and the application for work permit after entry, foreign high-end Talents’ (Category A) applications in China (except those scoring 85 points and above in Category A) can also be handled online. Applicants do not need to make a trip to the responsible agency to submit the documents required.
二、深化实施“不见面”审批。在原先工作许可延期、信息变更、注销、补办、境内变换用人单位、入境后申领工作许可证全程网办基础上，增加外国高端人才(A类)境内新办业务全程网办(85积分A类除外)。
Third, chip data update of foreigner’s work permit on-site at the premises of the responsible agency can be deferred. After the application is approved, the employer can download from the system the Decision on Approval of Administrative License with the electronic seal of the government authorities concerned. And the QR code information on foreigner’s work permit will be updated synchronously. In principle, the chip data should be updated on-site at the premises of the responsible agency. Considering the grim situation of the epidemic, employers and foreign talents can defer the chip update until the epidemic is alleviated.
三、可延缓前往受理机构更新外国人工作许可证芯片。 业务决定通过后，用人单位可在系统自行下载带有决定机构电子印章的《准予行政许可决定书》，外国人工作许可证上的二维码信息也已同步更新;原则上芯片也应至受理机构现场更新，但考虑疫情形势严峻，用人单位和外籍人才可延缓更新芯片，等疫情缓解再至现场更新。
Fourth, the electronic signature of a foreign applicant on application documents is accepted. The applicant can provide his or her electronic signature on application documents such as the labor contract, employment separation certificate and application form. Both the employer and the applicant shall be responsible for the authenticity and legality of the electronic signature.
四、认可申请文件上外籍申请人的电子签名。劳动合同、离职证明、申请表等申请文件上可提供外籍申请人的电子签名，用人单位和外籍申请人应对电子签名的真实性、合法性负责。
Fifth, the scope of simultaneous work and residence permit application is expanded. We further implement the policy that allows applicants to submit the applications for work and residence permits at the same counter and collect both permits simultaneously, and expand the scope of the service from foreign high-end talents (Category A) to foreign professionals (Category B). The service is now available at 8 district-level counters citywide. For more information, please visit the “Work Permit for Foreigners in China” section on the website of Beijing Overseas Talents Center (https://www.8610hr.cn/).
五、扩大“两证联办”政策服务范围。进一步实行外国人来华工作、居留许可“一窗受理，同时取证”，将政策服务范围从外国高端人才(A类)扩大至外国专业人才(B类)，目前全市8个区级“两证联办”窗口均可办理。详情请登录北京海外学人中心网站(https://www.8610hr.cn/)“外国人来华工作许可”专栏查询。
