Beijing, 16 Oct 2025
China has started a new K visa to bring in young foreign STEM experts. The visa makes it easier for graduates and researchers to work on new ideas in China without needing a company to support them.
How the K visa is different
The K visa is not like old visas that needed company support. It lets smart people come to China on their own to do research or start businesses. China wants to become a leader in new tech like AI and green energy. The country needs more experts to help with this goal. The visa comes at a time when other countries are making it harder for foreign workers.
Mixed reactions to the new visa
Many Indians see the K visa as a good option instead of going to America. But some Chinese people are worried. They fear it might be harder for them to get jobs if more foreigners come. The government says the visa will help China grow and create new jobs. They promise that Chinese culture will still be important in all the new work being done.
