What type of visa do foreign artists and celebrities need to apply for to perform in China?外國藝人明星來中國演出需要申請什麽類型簽證？
外國藝人來中國演出，參加節目，開演唱會...
需要申請什麽類型中國簽證？
隨著中國對跨國演出的放開，越來越多的外籍藝人、演員來中國參加節目錄製，演出等。
那麽這些外籍藝人和藝人團隊來中國需要辦理什麽類型簽證呢？
據我們了解，很多經紀公司對簽證類型不夠重視，為了方便直接給外籍藝人辦理中國旅遊或短期商務類型簽證。
因為簽證類型不符合，導致出現使館嚴查被拒簽的情況！！
同時各地文旅局也可能會核查一些藝人所持簽證類型是否符合在國內參加演出或錄製節目。
所以，必須要嚴格按照類型來申請中國工作簽證（Z字）！！
外國藝人演員球員等公共人物申請中國工作簽證流程：
一、短期來華演出訪問交流
主辦方向當地文旅局申請批文→外籍藝人申請Z字工作簽證→大於30天以上的活動入境換工作居留許可
二、長期來華巡演工作活動
中國公司雇傭→公司申請聘外資質→當地外專局申請外國人工作許可通知→外籍藝人申請工作Z簽證入境→申請中國工作居留許可→獲得1-5年居留許可
What type of Chinese visa do foreign artists need to apply for to perform, participate in programs, or hold concerts in China?
As China has relaxed restrictions on cross-border performances, more and more foreign artists and actors are coming to China to participate in program recordings, performances, and other events.
So, what type of visa do these foreign artists and their teams need to apply for to come to China?
From our understanding, many management companies do not pay enough attention to the type of visa required. For convenience, they often apply for a tourist or short-term business visa for foreign artists. However, since the visa type does not match the purpose of their visit, there have been cases where the embassy conducts strict checks, leading to visa rejections!
Additionally, local cultural and tourism bureaus may also check whether the type of visa held by artists complies with the requirements for participating in performances or program recordings in China.
Therefore, it is essential to strictly apply for the appropriate Chinese work visa (Z visa) according to the type of activity!
Process for Foreign Artists, Actors, Athletes, and Other Public Figures to Apply for a Chinese Work Visa:
I. Short-term Performances, Visits, and Exchanges in China:
The organizer applies for approval from the local cultural and tourism bureau.
The foreign artist applies for a Z work visa.
For activities lasting more than 30 days, the artist must obtain a work residence permit after entering China.
II. Long-term Tours and Work Activities in China:
A Chinese company hires the foreign artist.
The company applies for qualification to employ foreigners.
The local foreign expert bureau applies for a notification of work permit for foreigners.
The foreign artist applies for a Z work visa to enter China.
The artist applies for a Chinese work residence permit.
The artist receives a residence permit valid for 1-5 years.
