Shanghai's Pudong Area 'to Ease Rules for Getting Work Visas'

(Beijing) – A bustling economic area in Shanghai will soon make it easier for highly skilled foreigners to get work visas, a Communist Party official said at a recent economic forum.

Shen Xiaoming said on June 27 at the Lujiazui Forum that the government of the Pudong New Area will ease visa rules, but did not say when the changes will come into effect. Shen is the party boss of Pudong, the regional home of many multinational corporations.
