Answers for founders & expats

FAQ: Hainan & China company setup, visas, residence permits & living in Hainan

How do I register a company in Hainan Free Trade Port?
WFOE registration in Hainan typically takes 10–15 business days. JMF handles the full process: name approval, articles of association, registered capital filing, business license, tax registration, and bank account opening. There is no statutory minimum registered capital.
How do I set up a company in China as a foreigner?
Foreigners set up a company in China through a WFOE (Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise). The process is the same nationwide: name pre-approval, articles of association, business licence, tax and social-insurance registration, and a corporate bank account. Hainan Free Trade Port adds a 15% corporate tax rate, zero tariff on most imports, and faster approvals.
What is the corporate tax rate in Hainan FTP?
Hainan's encouraged industries pay 15% CIT (vs 25% mainland standard). High-end talent benefits from a capped 15% IIT. VAT and customs incentives apply for goods processed within the FTP.
Hainan vs Hong Kong: which is better for foreign founders?
Hainan offers 15% CIT (HK: 8.25–16.5%), direct China market access (HK: indirect), and 0% minimum capital (HK: HKD 1). HK retains common-law system and stronger banking. For founders targeting the China market, Hainan is structurally cheaper.
Do I need a Chinese partner to start a WFOE?
No. Under the 2020 Foreign Investment Law, a WFOE can be 100% foreign-owned in most sectors. JMF registers WFOEs without a Chinese partner in 10–15 days.
How does Hainan ODI work?
Outbound Direct Investment (a Hainan entity investing abroad) requires SAFE registration, NDRC filing, and bank remittance approval. JMF executes end-to-end ODI from your Hainan WFOE.
Can I get a Chinese work visa through Hainan?
Yes. Hainan issues M (business), R (talent), and Z (work) visas. The R visa is for high-end foreign professionals sponsored by a Hainan entity. JMF arranges the work permit and visa invitation letter.
What is the difference between a Chinese visa and a residence permit?
A Chinese visa lets you enter the country; a residence permit (外国人居留许可) lets you live in China long-term. Z, R, or talent visa holders must convert to a residence permit at the local Exit-Entry Bureau within 30 days of arrival. The residence permit, not the visa, is what you show for daily life in China.
How do I get a residence permit in Hainan or China?
After entering on a Z or R visa, apply at the local PSB Exit-Entry Administration with your passport, work permit, health check, and accommodation registration. Biometrics are taken and the residence permit is issued for 1–5 years. JMF coordinates the entire residence-permit process for Hainan clients.
Can a foreigner live in Hainan, China?
Yes. Thousands of foreigners live in Hainan. With a job, business, or study basis you obtain a residence permit and can live, work, and study on the island. Hainan offers a tropical climate, low cost of living, international schools, and a growing expat community.
Is Hainan a good place to live and do business as a foreigner?
Hainan is one of the most foreigner-friendly places in China: a 15% talent income tax, zero tariff on most consumer and business imports, relaxed visa policies, and a government push to attract global talent. It combines low living costs with direct access to the China market.
What are Hainan FTP's key sector restrictions?
Restricted sectors follow the national Negative List (2024). Most industries — tech, services, manufacturing, tourism — are open. Education, news, and certain finance subsectors remain restricted. JMF checks your sector against the list before filing.
How long does a Hainan company setup take?
10–15 business days for incorporation. Bank account: another 7–14 days. Total from signed engagement to operational entity: about 4 weeks.
Why choose Hainan Free Trade Port over other Chinese cities?
Hainan is China's only island-wide free trade port: a 15% corporate tax for encouraged industries, zero tariff on most imports, simplified market entry, and preferential talent visas. For foreign founders entering the China market, it is cheaper and faster than tier-1 cities.
