China has introduced a new visa category, the K visa, specifically for young foreign talent in science and technology, effective October 1. This initiative is part of China's effort to build a more proactive talent policy.

• The K visa is for young international professionals with a bachelor’s degree or higher from prestigious universities or research institutions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
• The new visa permits engaging in activities related to education, science, technology, and cultural exchanges, offering more convenience regarding multiple entries, validity, and duration of stay.
• Applicants do not require an employer or inviting organization within China, with eligibility based on age, educational background, and work experience.
