Pitfalls and rejection causes

• • 职位名称与实际工作内容不符是常见的质疑点。
• • 境外学历未经认证通常不被采认。
• • 签证类别与工作许可不匹配会导致流程中断。

Tips from our team

• • 提前梳理公司侧文件的有效期，避免临期作废。
• • 同一份学历文件多次使用时建议多备认证副本。
• • 保存所有回执与受理编号。

• Keep complete source documents

  Tax invoices, receipts and contracts should be filed systematically per accounting period to support any later audit.

• Assess tax residence before planning

  Liability depends on tax residence and any applicable double-tax agreement; evaluate before moving funds or receiving cross-border income.

• Use bilingual contracts with a governing version

  Cross-border contracts should state which language version prevails and how disputes are resolved.

• Fix the structure before registration

  Shareholding, objectives and required licences should be settled before filing; later changes require amendment filings and extra time.

• Improper nominee shareholding

  Using nominees to bypass foreign business restrictions carries serious legal risk. Structure the company lawfully from the outset.

• Outdated company certificates

  Certificates submitted should be freshly issued and consistent with the current register, or the receiving authority will refuse them.

• Treating a contract translation as legal advice

  A translation conveys wording but does not assess legal risk. Have a lawyer review the substance before signing.

• Late statutory or tax filings

  Late filing triggers statutory surcharges and penalties and can affect renewal of foreign executives' work permits.
