New visas to boost family reunions

By ZHAO YINAN | China Daily | Updated: 2013-07-23 01:09

Foreigners' relatives expected to benefit from the change

Relatives of foreign residents in China will soon have more opportunities to visit their loved ones, thanks to new visa rules announced on Monday.

Under regulations from the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council, an S visa will be created for family members of professionals from overseas.

Spouses, young children, parents and parents-in-law will all qualify for the visa when the regulations take effect in September, authorities said. S1 visas will allow a stay of more than six months, while S2 visas will be for shorter visits.

No details about S2 visa applications were announced, but experts said having a new category for foreign expatriates' relatives will make applications more convenient and easier.

Under existing rules, foreigners arriving in China for family reunions can only apply for an L visa.

Wang Huiyao, director-general of the Center for China and Globalization, an independent, non-profit think tank in Beijing, said he believes the new move will help attract and retain international expertise.

The Legislative Affairs Office said in a statement: "Foreigners holding an L visa could be coming for tourism, family reunions or personal affairs. That visa category doesn't precisely correspond to the purpose of a visit."

The office said it has subdivided visa categories to more accurately state the reason for travel, adding that it hopes the regulations can deepen China's opening-up, boost tourism and attract more overseas talent.

The number of foreigners entering and leaving China has increased at an average rate of 10 percent annually since 2000, reaching 54.3 million last year, according to the Ministry of Public Security.

By the end of 2011, 4,752 foreigners had been granted permanent residency. Among them, more than 1,700 green card holders are overseas professionals working in China, and the rest are family members who have come to be reunited with them.

Arthur Glauser, 33, a teacher at an international school in Tianjin has worked in the city for four years. He and his Chinese wife have a child.

Glauser said his parents have never had a chance to visit his home in China and that he has no immediate plans to leave.

"It would be lovely to have my parents spend a little time with their grandson," he said.

He said family reunions will be an issue for an increasing number of foreigners in coming years, as China is wooing overseas experts and many foreigners are looking at opportunities in the country.

Glauser said he believes more people will consider settling down in China, but they will all face the same dilemma of how to balance life far away from home.

Liu Guofu, an immigration law professor at Beijing Institute of Technology, said the government has shown its sincerity toward global talent with the new policy.

"People being allowed to apply for S visas include the parents and parents-in-law of foreigners, which is much more generous than the international standard, which limits this to only spouse and children," he said.

"The policy will benefit many foreigners, making their lives much easier and more comfortable ... so that they can work in the country for a longer period."

But he said the change will bring challenges in the handling of foreigners, adding, "There are many other ways to attract talent and create a friendly environment for these professionals."
