Beijing work permit 2026: what paperwork do I need?
Your employer starts the Foreigner's Work Permit notification online before you fly, then you enter on a Z visa and convert it to the residence permit within 30 days. The usual screwup is degree and police clearance documents not being notarised and legalised properly, plus the medical check timing.
Get the medical done in Beijing, not abroad
True, only the Beijing International Travel Healthcare Center on Hepingli Beijie issues the certificate the exit-entry bureau actually accepts.
yeah do it here, the overseas clinics often get rejected at the counter. book the appt online a week ahead & go early, the queue is rough
bring ur passport & a couple of photos, & expect the results to take about 4 working days
Agree, plus bring your vaccination records too.
only for stays over 6 months, shorter trips skip it
Also criminal record check has to be under 6 months old
the 30 days is calendar days not working days, caught me out
check the notary stamp matches ur passport name exactly
Funland Beijing 2026: what's left of the old park?
depends what u mean by Funland, the old rides are gone but the east bit near the bus stops is still lively, I'd live there for the links not the park.
yeah the east side by the bus stops still has that night market vibe but the west end past Chaoyang Park Rd is dead quiet after 9
Bus 402 to Liangmaqiao still runs till 11.
The old coaster site off Jiuxianqiao Lu is now mostly residential towers with a small park, quieter at night than you'd expect.
fair point on the quiet nights. those towers went up around 2019 i think, and they kept a bit of the old concrete footing as a feature near the playground. tbh it feels more like a normal neighborhood now than a park.
