外国人就业新政：1+1>2？
By King & Wood
作者：陆慧文 丁戊 金杜律师事务所商务合规部 2015年底，国务院审改办决定将人社部负责的“外国人来华就业许可”和国家外国专家局实施的“外国专家来华工作许可”整合为“外国人来华工作许可”。新版许可自2017年4月1日起全国统一实施。“两证整合”不仅是简单合并，而是统一外国人来华工作管理服务，对于这一新政的亮点，我们作出如下简要解读，以供参考。 统一证件名称 本次新版许可在旧版的基础上，对许可证书进行了整合。原《外国专家来华工作许可证》、《外国人就业许可证》统一整合为《外国人工作许可通知》，采用电子化在线打印；原《外国专家证》和《外国人就业证》统一整合为《外国人工作许可证》。《外国人工作许可证》作为外国人在中国工作的合法证件，一人一号、终生不变。 取消被授权单位邀请函制度 2017年3月13日，人社部发布《关于修改<外国人在中国就业管理规定>的决定》，将原职业签证统一改为Z字签证，并将申请Z字签证的条件修改为“获准来中国就业的外国人，应凭许可证书(即《外国人工作许可通知》)及本国有效护照或能代替护照的证件到中国驻外使、领馆处申请Z字签证”，取消了被授权单位邀请函的申请，进一步简化了外国人来华工作的办理程序。 简化申请材料 “两证整合”简化了申请材料，新版许可的申请材料中减少了旧版许可要求的单位申请函、中英文个人简历、就业许可等材料，材料数量大大压缩。同时，“两证整合”亦归并了申请材料，大部分申请材料将在办理《外国人工作许可通知》时提交，在申请《外国人工作许可证》时仅需提交少量补充材料(申请表及Z字签证)。 外国人就业分类及积分管理 新政将来华就业的外国人分为三类：外国高端人才(A类)、外国专业人才(B类)及外国普通人员(C类)，贯彻“鼓励高端、控制一般、限制低端”的原则，综合运用分类管理及计点积分制度，将“标准符合法”和“计点积分法”相结合，对外国人来华就业条件的认定标准更加科学、实用，可操作性较强。 外国高端人才“绿色通道” 对于符合条件的外国高端人才来华就业，新政特别开辟了一条“绿色通道”，对于该等申请人在申请条件上不设年龄和工作经历限制，且对部分申请材料(无犯罪记录证明、学位证明等)采取“承诺制”，申请人在入境前无需提供任何纸质材料核验，办理时限亦缩短为5个工作日。
