Have you dreamed of setting up your own malt gelato stand in Shanghai, but couldn't find enough time between tri-monthly visa runs? According to China Briefing, Shanghai's been testing out a new visa especially designed for entrepreneurs in select districts, including Changning and Yangpu. Called the "business start-up visa" (创业签证), it grants the holder, among other things, a 1 year residence in the country, with the option to extend or transfer, and some leeway in conducting market research, getting a lease, hiring staff, etc. Big note is that it's valid for individuals who might not be eligible for other visas.
