Policy support promotes better services for expats

In recent years, Beijing has been innovative and active in promoting better services for expats, and the city has launched several policies for the convenience of foreign nationals.

In March 2016, the immigration department launched 20 exit and entry policies to assist Beijing's technological and social development. The following year, the city introduced 10 more policies to promote Zhongguancun, a science and tech hub in Haidian district.

Last year, seven policies were launched to attract scientific and technological talent from overseas. Meanwhile, in August, 12 policies were released, aimed at attracting high-level talent. They included allowing foreign students to start their own businesses or find jobs when they graduate.
