China offers 10-year visas to 'high end talent'
China is issuing long-term visas to lure highly skilled people from abroad to work in the country.
The multi-entry visas will be valid for between five and 10 years, according to state media.
Technology leaders, entrepreneurs and scientists from in-demand sectors are among those eligible to apply.
China has set out goals for its economic and social development, and sees recruiting experts from abroad as key to achieving that.
When plans for the scheme were first considered, China said at least 50,000 foreigners would benefit.
Nobel Prize winners welcome
Applications for the visas can be made online, are free of charge and will be processed quickly, the Chinese government said.
Visa holders will be allowed to remain in the country for up to 180 days at a time, and will be eligible to bring partners and children.
In 2016 China introduced a ranking system for expatriates, aimed at identifying the skills it wanted to attract while reducing the number of lower-skilled foreigners coming into the country.
According to a document from the Chinese government , those classed as "high-end foreign talent" included Nobel Prize winners, successful Olympic athletes and directors of "world famous colleges of music fine arts and arts".
Top scientists, heads of major financial institutions and professors of "overseas high-level universities" also fit the bill.

New rules on visa attract top talent
It is now easier for top overseas talent to spend time in China getting to know the country before having to apply for a work permit, government officials said.
Under regulations on issuing R visas that took effect on Monday, foreign experts whose skills are in urgent demand would be allowed to stay in China for up to 180 days at a time, with multiple entries on a visa valid from five to 10 years.
The policies would also apply to the expat's spouse and children.
Top scientists, international entrepreneurs and other talent with specific high-level skills that are in need in the development of the country's economy and society are all qualified to apply for the visas, according to the regulations, released jointly by the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security.
Streamlined applications also are available for the visas, said Gao Xiang, director of the policies and regulations department of the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs.
Applications can be done online without any paperwork and are free of charge.
"Information uploaded by applicants will be shared by all the three departments, which will save the applicants' time since they won't need to hand in the information repeatedly," he said.
He added that the time it takes the departments to judge whether an expat is recognized as top talent has been reduced from 10 days to five days, which is much more convenient for expats. Once the expat is certified, the visa can be issued in two days.
Gao said the regulations reflect that China is implementing more open, inclusive, proactive and effective policies on talent, which makes the country more attractive to high-level talent globally.
"The regulations have been well-received among expats who want to work in China since they were released," he said. "The first confirmation letter for high-level foreign talent was issued on Jan 2 and we're now receiving more applications and inquiries."
Wang Huiyao, director of the Center for China and Globalization, a think tank in Beijing, took part in the proposal of the policies and was glad to see the regulations come into effect.
"By issuing the visa regulations, China is sending a signal that it welcomes top talent from across the world and that it's willing to create conditions for such talent to work and live in China," he said
