China to Launch K Visa:
As the U.S. enforces steep hikes and restrictions on H-1B visa applications, China is stepping in with a new immigration initiative. From October 1, 2025, China will officially launch the K Visa to attract young STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) professionals and researchers from around the world, offering an alternative route for global talent looking to work abroad.
The K Visa is China’s newly announced visa category designed to,
Attract young science and tech professionals
Encourage academic, cultural, and entrepreneurial exchanges
Offer flexibility in duration of stay, multiple entries, and employment conditions
