Local Resident Permit Application

Generally, non-local employees in first-tier cities will need to apply for local work and residence permits, residence permit points, and residence transfer to Hukou to better settle their families and children to school. First-tier city hukou is a relatively scarce resource in China, so as an employer, it will generally support such applications of employees. We offer professional global employment outsourcing services whether you want an application for permanent residence permit or an application for temporary residence permit.
