Advocacy Letter to Foreign Affairs Office of Tianjin Municipal People's Government on Visa Fast Track

2020-05-28 | Tianjin

On 28th May, a letter was submitted to Foreign Affairs Office of Tianjin Municipal People's Government. This letter raised the EU businesses' strong needs of foreign professionals returning to Tianjin with Foreign Entry Ban, recognizing Tianjin’s commitment to support the resumption of work of the foreign business. 

In the letter, the European Chamber appreciates the efforts by Foreign Affairs Office of Tianjin Municipal People's Government  in making progress on supporting foreign workers to come back to Tianjin. Through the visa fast track, the first charter flight will arrive in Tianjin on 30th May as the first port. Many positive steps have been taken to facilitate the return of foreign employees to their work in Tianjin after the visa fast track program launched. It is hoped that the "Tianjin Experiences" could become a pattern for China to opening up the urgently needed international travels from other European Union Member States and trade partners.
