摘要

In principle, foreigners are allowed to work and reside in the People’s Republic of China (PRC; different  regulations apply in Hong Kong SAR and Macao SAR) subject to obtaining a working and residence  permit issued by the State Administration of Foreign Expert Affairs (SAFEA). While the permit is valid  a foreigner may enter and exit the country without restrictions.
