May 12th | China’s New Immigration Policy Roundtable
05-12-17 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
China’s immigration and visa system has never been simple, but if one thing’s certain it’s that having all your paperwork in order is essential to a company’s consistent operation. In light of a number of recent changes to the visas and immigration policy, AustCham South China has teamed up with Fragomen to bring you our latest event. Fragomen, leading specialists in global immigration law, will provide information on the changes and how they’ll affect those attending.
If you have specific questions for Fragomen’s representatives, you’re welcome to forward them to us so that we can tailor the event accordingly. If you don’t deal with visa paperwork yourself, it could still be a great opportunity for your HR team to get up to speed on the latest rules.
