System Update Points for February 2026 (Must-Read to Avoid Errors)
2026年2月系统更新要点（必看，避免报错）
The foreigner work permit management service system has been updated on February 3, 2026, with two key adjustments. Failure to comply will directly result in system errors and failure to submit applications:
2026年2月3日，外国人来华工作管理服务系统完成更新，两大核心调整，不遵守将直接导致系统报错、无法提交申请：
1. Experience Information Adjustment: The original "Work Experience" column was renamed "Work and Education Experience", supporting three types of experience filling: work, education, and unemployment. All experiences must be continuous in time, and there shall be no monthly gaps.
1. 经历信息调整：原「工作经历」栏目更名为「工作教育经历」，支持填写工作、教育、待业三类经历；各项经历在时间上必须连续，不得出现月份间断。
2. Expired Business Handling: For ongoing businesses (including extension, change, cancellation) where the work permit has expired, the system will automatically terminate the business, and the work permit will automatically become invalid. Employers must arrange business handling reasonably in advance.
2. 超期业务处理：工作许可已过期的在办业务（包括延期、变更、注销），系统将自动终止业务，对应工作许可自动变为无效，用人单位需提前合理安排业务办理。
Shanghai Class A/B Salary Adjustment Minimum threshold, guaranteed delivery
上海A/B类薪资新标准（最低门槛，必达）
The salary standards for Class A/B foreign talents in Shanghai have been officially adjusted. When applying for or extending the work permit, the salary filling must meet the following minimum standards, otherwise the system will report an error:
上海A/B类外籍人才薪资标准正式调整，申请或延期工作许可时，薪资填报需满足以下最低门槛，未达标系统将直接报错，无法提交：
✅ Shanghai's previous year's social average wage base: 12,435 yuan/month;
✅ 上海上年度社会平均工资基数：12435元/月；
✅ Class A Foreign Talents: Monthly salary ≥ 12,435 × 6 = 74,610 yuan (not less than 6 times the social average wage);
✅ A类外籍人才：月薪资≥12435×6=74610元（不低于社平工资6倍）；
✅ Class B Foreign Talents: Monthly salary ≥ 12,435 × 4 = 49,740 yuan (not less than 4 times the social average wage).
✅ B类外籍人才：月薪资≥12435×4=49740元（不低于社平工资4倍）。
Note: The above are the minimum salary standards. When applying for the work permit type of "Class A talents with average salary not less than 6 times the social average wage" or "Class B talents with average salary not less than 4 times the social average wage", the salary must strictly meet the above requirements.
备注：以上为最低薪资标准，选择“平均工资不低于社平工资6倍的A类人才”“平均工资不低于社平工资4倍的B类人才”许可类型时，薪资需严格达标。
Age Restrictions & Extension Rules Category A Exemptions (Must-Read for Overage)
年龄限制及延期新规（A类豁免，超龄必看）
Combined with the decision on delayed retirement, the age restrictions and extension rules for foreign work permits have been adjusted. Class A talents are exempt from age restrictions, while Class B/C talents are subject to strict restrictions:
结合延迟退休决定，外籍工签年龄限制及延期规则同步调整，A类人才豁免年龄限制，B/C类人才限制严格，具体如下：
1. Age Limit for Application: When applying for Class B/C work permits, foreign talents shall not exceed the legal retirement age; Class A high-end talents are not subject to age restrictions.
1. 申请年龄限制：外籍人才申请B类、C类工作许可，年龄不得超过法定退休年龄；A类高端人才不受年龄限制。
2. Transition Period Extension Rule: During the current transition period, only the extension channel is open for Class B work permits of over-age talents, and extension is allowed only once, not multiple times.
2. 过渡期延期规则：当前过渡期内，B类超龄工作许可仅开放延期通道，且仅限延期一次，不可多次延期。
3. Over-age Continuation Path: If over-age Class B/C talents still need to work in China and meet the Class A talentification standards, they can directly apply for Class A work permits to break through the age limit.
3. 超龄延续路径：超龄的B/C类人才若仍需在华工作，且符合A类人才分类标准，可直接按A类申请工作许可，突破年龄限制。
4. Extension Handling Time: Extension procedures can be handled 4 months in advance. Employers must confirm the validity period of foreign employees' work permits in a timely manner and start handling the extension as early as possible within 4 months before the expiration.
4. 延期办理时效：延期手续可提前四个月办理，用人单位需及时确认外籍员工工作许可有效期，并在有效期届满前四个月内尽早启动办理。
Jiaxing Special Requirements
嘉兴地区特殊规定
In addition to the national and Shanghai policies, Jiaxing has special regulations on the work permit extension of over-age foreign talents, which employers in Jiaxing must pay attention to:
除全国及上海统一政策外，嘉兴地区对外籍超龄人才工签延期有特殊规定，嘉兴地区用人单位务必注意：
After exceeding the legal retirement age, Class B and C work permits (including those for legal persons) cannot be extended. Both the system and the window will not accept the extension application.
外籍人才超过法定退休年龄后，B类、C类工作许可证（含法人）一律不可延期，系统与窗口均不受理延期申请。
If over-age talents still need to work in Jiaxing, the only compliant path is to switch to Class A high-end talent work permits (Class A is not subject to the legal retirement age limit).
超龄后仍需在嘉兴继续工作的，唯一合规路径为转办A类高端人才工作许可（A类不受法定退休年龄限制）。
❓ High-Frequency Q&A｜高频答疑
Focus on solving the most common problems encountered by employers and foreign talents, and sort out the key points of policy implementation:
聚焦解决用人单位及外籍人才最常遇到的问题，梳理政策执行重点：
Q1: What if there is a monthly gap in the "Work and Education Experience" filled in?Q1：填报「工作教育经历」出现月份间断怎么办？
A1: The system will directly report an error and cannot submit the application. It is necessary to supplement the missing experience (such as unemployment experience) to ensure continuous time without gaps. A1：系统将直接报错，无法提交申请，需补充缺失时段的经历（如待业经历），确保时间连续无间断。
Q2: Can the salary of Class A/B talents be lower than the minimum standard if there are special circumstances?Q2：A/B类人才薪资因特殊情况可低于最低标准吗？
A2: No. The above salary standards are the mandatory minimum thresholds. If they are not met, the system will report an error and the application will not be accepted. There is no exception for special circumstances. A2：不可以。以上薪资标准为强制性最低门槛，未达标将直接系统报错、不予受理，无特殊情况例外。
Q3: Can over-age Class B talents apply for extension again after extending their work permits once?Q3：B类超龄人才工签延期一次后，可再次申请延期吗？
A3: No. During the transition period, over-age Class B work permits can only be extended once. After the extension expires, if you still need to work, you must switch to Class A work permits.
A3：不可以。过渡期内，B类超龄工作许可仅限延期一次，延期届满后仍需工作的，需转办A类工作许可。
Q4: What should I do if the work permit expires and the extension business is terminated by the system?Q4：工作许可过期，延期业务被系统终止怎么办？
A4: The work permit will automatically become invalid. It is necessary to re-apply for the work permit in accordance with the new application procedures, and it cannot be handled as an extension.
A4：工作许可将自动变为无效，需按新申请流程重新办理工作许可，无法再按延期办理。
