“From Trinidad to Shenzhen: How We Helped an Entrepreneur Secure Long-term Residency in China”

Lauren, a citizen of Trinidad & Tobago, aimed to relocate to China and secure a work permit. With our end-to-end support, she successfully established her company in Shenzhen and obtained long-term residence.

Lauren faced several key challenges on her journey:

Uncertainty in business scope: She needed a broad, low-maintenance scope that complied with regulations yet allowed flexibility for future ventures such as e-commerce, online content, and consulting.

Complex visa process: Obtaining a Chinese work permit and residence permit required continuous business proof, bank statements, and contracts.

Choosing the right city: She sought advice on the most suitable location for both company registration and visa applications.
