Questions

Frequently asked by foreign founders & teams

Most setup can start remotely, but opening the corporate bank account and some identity steps usually require a director's visit. We plan the trip around your filing milestones to save time.

After the Work Permit Notice is issued, embassy processing typically takes 4–10 working days, plus local residence-permit steps once you land. We prep the dossier so there are no refusals for missing papers.

Yes. We regularly handle status changes, employer transfers, and conversions (for example from a business visa to a work permit) while you remain compliant.

A WFOE suits trading and operations, a Representative Office is for non-revenue market presence, and a JV fits local partnerships or negative-list sectors. We recommend the best fit in your consultation — see our comparison.
