China - a country of superlatives. Are you planning to move to the People's Republic of China? Do you want to emigrate to the world power from East Asia? With the removal company Krügel Umzüge, you have experienced experts at your side when it comes to moving to China. China is one of the oldest and culturally richest countries in the world. With an area of 9.6 million square kilometers and a population of over 1.4 billion people, it is also the most populous country in the world. In addition to the predominant Han ethnic group (approx. 1.25 billion people), China has 55 recognized ethnic minorities. The general official language is Standard Chinese, but there are additional official languages in individual regions. These include: English (Hong Kong), Cantonese (in Hong Kong and Macau), Tibetan (Tibet), Uyghur (Xinjiang), Mongolian (Inner Mongolia), Korean (Yanbian) and Zhuang (Guangxi).



China has a long and eventful history, with evidence dating back thousands of years. Chinese culture is incredibly diverse and rich in traditions and customs. Surviving literary works date back to the 4th century BC. High-ranking forms of artistic expression can be found in painting, architecture, music and theater. Some of the most famous Chinese monuments and sights are the Great Wall of China, the Terracotta Army and the Forbidden City in Beijing.
Anyone considering a move to China will be interested in the economic conditions of this great power. China's economy has experienced impressive growth in recent decades. China has developed into one of the largest and most important economic powers in the world. The service sector is the largest economic sector, followed by industry and trade. China is also an important producer of raw materials such as coal, oil and natural gas. Not to be underestimated are the growing technology and automotive sectors. China can boast outstanding achievements in the field of science and technology. Chinese researchers and scholars have always made significant contributions in fields such as mathematics, medicine and astronomy. The country has also long been home to a thriving space industry and has successfully conducted manned space flights.
Its relationship with neighboring countries and the international community can be described as complex. China plays an important role in world politics and the global economy and is a member of many international organizations. However, relations with the USA and other Western nations are strained, particularly with regard to trade and human rights issues. Overall, China is a country with a rich and complex culture, a strong economy and an important role in world politics. Emigrating to China is primarily attractive for investors, skilled workers and management positions.


As an internationally experienced removal company, Krügel Umzüge always knows the current regulations for entering China. However, these have been changing regularly since the start of the Covid pandemic. You should also check the website of the Chinese embassy in Berlin as well as official contact points in China. Krügel, a removal company specializing in moving to China, will be happy to give you a rough overview of certain formalities to be observed in advance.
To enter China, you first need a tourist visa (L visa). You can obtain this from the Chinese embassy or via the "Visa Application Service Center". Please note: The route via third countries (e.g. Hong Kong) is only possible if you have a permanent, legal residence there! The L visa is valid for 3 months, but only entitles you to stay for 30 days. This period can be extended locally if necessary.
Emigrants can only obtain a work visa (Z visa) with a letter of invitation from a Chinese company. Such a work visa initially entitles you to enter the country once. You are then obliged to register with the local police authority within 30 days and have the visa converted into a residence permit. This allows you to enter and leave the country more frequently. A Z visa is valid for 6 months or a whole year and can be extended locally. In order to obtain an official residence permit, you will need a letter of invitation from your employer.
• Capital: Beijing
• Head of state: President Xi Jinping
• Currency: Renminbi
• Population: approx. 1.4 billion (2022)
• Population density: 148 inhabitants per square kilometer
• Area: around 9,600,000 square kilometers
• Gross domestic product: USD 14.7 trillion (2019)

Permanent residence permits are not easy to obtain. A large investment in China or working for a company based in China for many years often opens doors. As an alternative to the permanent visa, the multiple entry visa can be used, which "only" authorizes a one-year stay, but can also be extended. However, this again requires an invitation from a company, already valid visas (e.g. two normal visas for China) or an official invitation. Ask our relocation consultants. We will also work with you to determine such formal questions regarding your move to China - including clarification of customs regulations.
