According to Article 41 of the Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, foreigners who work in China shall obtain work permits and work-type residence permits in accordance with relevant provisions. No unit or individual shall employ a foreigner who has not obtained a work permit or a work-type residence permit. Therefore, foreigners working in China must apply for a work permit and a work residence permit, so what points should foreigners pay attention to when applying for work in China?

根据《中华人民共和国出境入境管理法》第四十一条规定：外国人在中国境内工作，应当按照规定取得工作许可和工作类居留证件。任何单位和个人不得聘用未取得工作许可和工作类居留证件的外国人。所以，外国人在中国工作是必须要办理工作许可证以及工作类居留许可的，那么外国人申请来华工作需要注意哪些要点呢？
