China Employment Visa Document Attestation
Foreign talent work permits in China require authenticated educational credentials and background checks. Following China accession to the Hague Convention, Pakistani degrees and police clearances require the MOFA apostille sticker rather than embassy legalisation.

How China processes your work visa file
HEC attestation
HEC attestation
HEC confirms the degree and transcript against the university register, and the file then moves to the MOFA apostille.
MOFA apostille
MOFA apostille
MOFA attaches the Hague apostille that Chinese authorities accept directly, replacing the old embassy legalisation.
Police clearance
Police clearance
The police certificate is obtained and attested where the work permit file asks for it.
What the Chinese employer and embassy require
Your employer submits the apostilled documents with the work permit application through the Chinese channels.
The employer letter names the documents the file needs, and we match the Pakistan-side steps to it.
A certified Chinese or English translation is sometimes requested, and we arrange it when confirmed.
