Visas and Secondment

China’s new visa regulations went into effect on September 1, 2013. These changes include new visa categories and harsher punishments for non-compliance. Cory Lam, assistant manager for operations at Dezan Shira & Associates’ Shanghai office will discuss the new visa regulations and also cover the general procedures for employing foreign staff in China for the Joint Nordic Chambers of Commerce. She will answer pressing and persistent questions relevant to expatriates living and working in China, including

• How do the new visa regulations affect those already in China?
• What is the procedure for legally employing a foreigner?
• What are the penalties for noncompliance with the new laws?
• What is the 5 year rule and when does it apply?
• What are the tax implications of seconding a foreign employee to your Chinese subsidiary?
