Haikou Becomes the First in Hainan to Introduce Credit Rating Guidelines for Employers and Foreigners.
According to a report by Haikou Daily on August 17, the Haikou Municipal Bureau of Science, Technology, and Industry Information (Haikou Foreign Experts Bureau), in collaboration with the Haikou Public Security Bureau, has recently issued the "Guidelines for Credit Rating of Employers and Foreigners in Haikou" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines"). This is the first set of guidelines in Hainan Province that establishes a credit rating system for domestic employers and foreign nationals applying for work and residence permits.
Under the guidelines, employers and foreigners applying for work and residence permits in Haikou are divided into four lists: "Red List", "White List", "Grey List" and "Black List". When the Haikou Municipal Bureau of Science, Technology, and Industry Information (Haikou Foreign Experts Bureau) and the Haikou Municipal Public Security Bureau receive applications for work and residence permits of foreigners in China, they will examine and approve the work and residence permits of foreigners according to the credit rating of the employer and the foreigners and the principle of combining strictness with leniency, so as to promote the consistency of the validity of these permits.Employers and foreigners listed on the Red List will benefit from a range of expedited services, including "green channels," "approval with missing documents to be supplemented later," "credit commitments," "special handling for special cases," "priority processing," and "on-the-spot issuance." In contrast, those on the Black List will be ineligible for permit approvals for one year.For those placed on the Black List, there is an option to apply for removal from the list based on individual circumstances. Applications can be submitted to the Haikou Municipal Bureau of Science, Technology, and Industry Information (Haikou Foreign Experts Bureau) and the Haikou Public Security Bureau through the "Comprehensive Foreigners Service Window" or at one of the eight foreigners service centers located in Xiuying District, Longhua District, Qiongshan District, Meilan District, Jiangdong New District, the High-tech Zone, the Comprehensive Bonded Zone, and Fullsing Internet Industrial Park. Applicants must submit a request for removal from the blacklist and provide supporting documentation, and the relevant authorities will review and decide within seven working days.![]()
