Visa application procedures and requirements are constantly changing and can vary depending on when and where the applicant is submitting the application.
The process of applying for a working permit for expatriate employees usually takes at least 20 working days and requires the expatriate employee to gather several documents before getting started. Its advised to allow as much time as possible to collect and pre-screen all of the necessary documents in order to ensure that all deadlines are met.
NOTE:HK, Macau, and Taiwan passport holders no longer need to apply for working permit, but must obtain a residency permit.
