China to Launch New K-Visa for STEM Specialists from October 1, 2025

From October 1, 2025, China introduces a new category of entry documents — K-visa, specifically designed to attract foreign specialists in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), having a degree of bachelor's degree and above. This initiative aims to simplify the access to the country for highly qualified professionals, researchers, and young talents who want to build a career in technologically advanced areas.

The main feature of the K-visa — flexible conditions of stay. Owners will be able to enter and leave multiple times, stay in China for long periods and at the same time engage in various activities: from working in research centers and universities to running their own startups or collaborating with local companies.

Unlike many other visa categories, applying for a K-visa does not require a preliminary invitation from an employer — this opens up broad opportunities for specialists who plan to independently search for projects or start a business in China.

To apply for a K-visa, applicants will need a standard package of documents, including a passport, proof of qualification in one of the STEM fields, as well as payment of consular fees. Our agency is ready to provide support at every stage — from consultation on requirements and preparation of documents to submission and support in the visa process. This will help you save time, avoid mistakes, and get permission to enter as quickly as possible.
