Recap: Travel Update with Fragomen
On Thursday July 7th, AustCham Shanghai hosted a panel discussion with Fragomen on Post-COVID Talent Movement: Entering and Exiting China. The panel discussion provided an overview of China’s latest entry and exit requirements and best practices for businesses within the current immigration framework. The panel discussion was moderated by Roy Ren, Senior Director at Fragomen, and featured guest speakers Iris Zhang, Director at Fragomen, and Kayla Lu, Regional Leader for Mobility & Immigration at General Electric (GE).
Iris from Fragomen presented on the latest processes for entering China including current exemption policies and advice on increasing success rates for visa-applications. While Chinese embassies are now accepting applications from those vaccinated with Chinese vaccines, challenges remain in accessing Chinese vaccines overseas and finding open visa offices.
