🇨🇳 China Launches ‘K Visa’ to Woo Global STEM Talent
September 2025 —
In a bold move to attract young innovators, China is set to launch its new ‘K Visa’ program on October 1, targeting global professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)—with no job offer required.
The visa is open to applicants under 45 with a STEM degree from a recognized institution. It offers a streamlined path to residency, research access, and startup incubation, positioning China as a magnet for global talent amid tightening immigration policies in the US and UK.
“This is China’s invitation to the world’s brightest minds,” said a Ministry of Education spokesperson. “We’re building an innovation ecosystem without borders.”
The K Visa is part of China’s broader strategy to counter brain drain and boost domestic R&D. It complements recent reforms in AI, biotech, and green energy sectors, where international collaboration is being actively encouraged.
