On March 25, 2026, Daniel, an American businessman who had just cleared immigration through an e-port visa, shared his experience with the Exit-Entry Administration Detachment of Fengxian Public Security Bureau. "This policy is incredibly practical. It makes border clearance completely seamless and saves us valuable time for business negotiations." Daniel had been invited by Melaleuca (China) to tour the company's factory in Fengxian District. After experiencing firsthand the convenience of the e-port visa and the district's favorable business environment, he expressed strong confidence in future cooperation between the two sides.

To address the concerns of local businesses and improve the business environment, the Fengxian Exit-Entry Administration Detachment launched its "Smooth Sailing in Fengxian" outreach program in 2025, visiting enterprises and industrial parks across the district to deliver on-site briefings and provide tailored guidance on a range of business-friendly policies introduced by Shanghai's public security exit-entry authorities. Daniel's positive feedback only strengthened the Detachment's resolve to move beyond the service counter and reach enterprises directly.

The Detachment recently visited Milkground, INTCO, and Shanghai Huachang Group, holding face-to-face briefings on e-port visas and the streamlined talent endorsement policy for travel to Hong Kong and Macao. In these visits, built on the principle of "service that drives growth," two benchmark enterprises offered vivid examples of how the new policies enhance both their appeal in attracting talent and their competitiveness in expanding abroad.

The Foreign Sales Department of INTCO took center stage during this round of visits. Its director, Ms. Yang, is a seasoned hand in foreign trade. "In the past, whenever we invited overseas technical teams to Shanghai for guidance, the visa processing timeline was a major headache." At the briefing, Ms. Yang told the officers that learning about the e-port visa policy through the Fengxian Exit-Entry Administration Detachment's doorstep outreach would, to some extent, reshape the company's business model. With guidance from the Detachment, the company now relies on a "direct corporate invitation plus fully online processing" model to secure e-port visas for its overseas business partners outright, delivering a fast-track experience of "apply instantly, arrive instantly."

"The convenience of this policy has exceeded our expectations. It does more than ease things for foreign nationals. It is a showcase for Shanghai's business environment," Ms. Yang remarked. Banking on the efficiency of the e-port visa, INTCO plans to invite more overseas technical experts and clients in the near future, taking bigger and steadier strides in bringing talent and partners in.

The scene then shifts to Huachang Group based in Fengxian's Oriental Beauty Valley, where a briefing on the talent endorsement policy for travel to Hong Kong and Macao turned into a lively brainstorming session.

In recent years, Huachang Group has actively answered the national call to build the Greater Bay Area (GBA), steadily deepening industrial cooperation with Hong Kong and Macao. "Our projects require close coordination with teams in Hong Kong and Macao. From early-stage planning and design to later operations and management, our technical backbone and managers need to shuttle frequently among Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Macao," said Mr. Cai, head of Huachang Group. "Before, we had to apply for an endorsement ahead of every trip, and the limited stay often disrupted the pace of our projects."

At the event, police officers walked attendees through the core details of the talent endorsement program—its scope, eligibility requirements, and application procedures—and addressed, point by point, the questions companies cared most about, such as the criteria for talent recognition and the specifics of required documentation, helping Huachang Group untangle its cross-border challenges. "Bringing corporate executives under the talent endorsement scheme for travel to Hong Kong and Macao, with single-stay durations extended to 30 days, is tailor-made for us," said Mr. Cai, who had done the math. With this "fast pass" in hand, his team would have ample time to dig into the details of cultural and tourism projects in Hong Kong and Macao, and could even open temporary local offices to advance their operations.

The measure has made it far easier for Huachang Group's executives to conduct business exchanges and trade activities in Hong Kong and Macao, giving the company a solid travel guarantee as it "goes global" to compete internationally.

From INTCO "bringing in" investment to seize orders, to Huachang Group "going out" to build a global footprint, this is more than the rollout of immigration convenience policies. It marks, in miniature, the Fengxian Exit-Entry Administration Detachment's shift from a management-oriented body to a service-oriented one. The Detachment will reportedly continue to draw on its "Smooth Sailing in Fengjing" outreach visits and its work building immigrant integration service stations, rolling out regular policy briefings tailored to the cross-border needs of different types of enterprises, so that practical, usable policy dividends translate into powerful momentum for high-quality corporate growth.
