Foreign students studying in Xiamen no longer need to provide introduction letters, and may apply directly to the school, according to the foreign affairs office of Xiamen.
It will also become more convenient for high-level overseas talents to work and live in Xiamen.
The foreign affairs office has commissioned the city's science and technology institute to open a work permit acceptance window for foreigners.
A visa (residence permit) notification for high-level overseas talents can be issued to qualified high-level overseas talents (category A) directly when they are applying for a work permit at the window.
China has launched a new pilot program to allow eligible enterprises greater access to overseas financing in support of green and low-carbon transformation projects, the country's foreign exchange regulator said on Aug 21.
To further streamline the experience, China is expanding tax refund stores, broadening the range of refundable goods, and refining refund procedures, ensuring an efficient and seamless shopping experience for global visitors.
