Shanghai
has realized the "one-network handling" of linked
processing of foreigner work permits and residence permits, with most
links completed online. However, many company HRs are still unclear
about the online entry, material standards and review logic, leading
to repeated returns of applications.
上海已实现外国人工作许可、居留许可联动办理的一网通办，大部分环节可线上完成。但不少单位HR仍不清楚线上入口、材料规范和审核逻辑，导致申请反复被退回。
