It can be seen that the application conditions are 75% the same, that is to say, there is no difference between PU invitation and TE invitation for foreigners who are required by the state.

Recently, there was news in Shanghai that foreigners working in Shanghai could apply for PU invitation letters for their relatives to come to China. In fact, at some time last year, there was news that foreigners could apply for PU invitation letters for their relatives in Shanghai, but later this policy was cancelled. It may be recalled that Shanghai allows foreign Family members to apply for PU Letter individually. This time xiaobian did not find the official notice, but it is said that this is a true news, but there are certain conditions.

The contents of the message are summarized as follows:

Considering the necessity and urgency of foreign family members coming to China, relevant authorities in Shanghai have gradually started to send PU invitations to foreign family members (spouses and children under 18 years old).

Therefore, the principal applicant's spouse and children can join the PU invitation application together with the principal applicant. Family members can apply separately when the principal applicant is currently working or living in China.

The principal applicant is required to provide proof of employment and confirm that all applicants hold a Certificate of vaccination approved by China or WHO (except for minor children).

The application for PU invitation letter by family members shall be supported and recognized by the enterprise, and the enterprise shall meet the application requirements of annual tax payment of 1 million yuan. The main applicant must be an enterprise executive or an important member of the project.

Above, it can be seen that the application for PU invitation letter has begun to be relaxed in Shanghai, and it is believed that other provinces and regions in China will soon have relevant policy adjustments. We will continue to follow more policies and share with you the latest news of foreigners coming to China.
