China strengthens its position in the technology race: K visa for young talent

China has announced the introduction of a new visa category aimed at attracting young talents in the field of science and technology. The decision was made within the framework of a State Council decree and is aimed at strengthening the country's scientific and technical potential by attracting promising specialists from abroad.

A visa category K will be added to the list of standard visa categories, which will become available to young professionals who meet the established criteria. According to official information, candidates must possess qualifications and skills recognized by competent Chinese authorities, and also provide documentation confirming their professional level.

It is expected that this measure will simplify entry for foreign scientists and engineers working on advanced research and projects, and will create conditions for more active international exchange of experience. The new rules will come into effect on October 1.

According to experts in the field of migration and visa regulation, the introduction of a new visa category may be an important step in forming global scientific research cooperation, and also increase the attractiveness of China as a center for career growth in high-tech industries.
