How an immigration engagement runs

Assessment
Classification review for each relocating executive against the Free Trade Port's talent framework and the entity's own hiring plan.
- 02
Filing Plan
A documented sequence and realistic dates for each filing, built around the administrative reality of local processing rather than the published timeline.
- 03
Application & Issuance
Work permit and residence permit filings managed through to issuance, with document legalisation handled as part of the same engagement.
- 04
Renewal Monitoring
A tracked renewal calendar carried forward from issuance, so status is never left to lapse unnoticed between filings.
Work Permit Sponsorship
Classification assessment, documentation, and filing for executive work permits under the Free Trade Port's talent framework.
Residence Permits and Renewals
Initial residence permits, renewal calendars, and status monitoring for principals and accompanying family members.
Family and Dependent Relocation
Dependent visas, schooling documentation, and household registration support for relocating families.
Talent Programme Qualification
Assessment against Hainan's talent-attraction schemes and preparation of qualifying evidence where eligible.
Immigration status is the foundation on which every other commitment rests. An executive who cannot reliably enter, remain, and work in Hainan cannot sign leases, chair board meetings, or satisfy the residency expectations that substance rules increasingly imply.
Our immigration practice is built around the administrative reality of the Free Trade Port rather than the brochure version of it. Filing sequences, document legalisation chains, and local processing conventions differ in practice from what published guidance suggests, and our role is to absorb that gap so your timeline holds.
Engagements typically begin with a classification assessment for each relocating executive, followed by a documented filing plan with realistic dates. From there we manage the process through to permit issuance and maintain the renewal calendar so status never lapses unnoticed.
