Recent Graduate Obtains a Category C Work Permit
Situation
A recent foreign graduate planned to start work in China but did not yet have the full period of relevant experience commonly expected under a standard route.
Problem
The route had to be assessed against the university, major, proposed position and employer, including whether a development-zone or administrative-committee certificate could support a graduate pathway.
Solution
We prepared two possible application plans based on the candidate and company profile and explained the conditions and documents for each. The parties selected the recent-graduate Category C route, after which we assisted with the administrative committee’s work certificate and the subsequent filing.
Timeline
Eligibility review → comparison of two routes → Category C graduate route selected → administrative committee certificate → work permit and visa
Result
The candidate obtained the work permit and visa and proceeded with the planned onboarding in China.
Important notes
Graduate routes depend on the university, major, employer, filing location and current policy. They are not automatically available to every recent graduate.
