LIVING IN CHINA

You land in China. The rest is handled.

Airport pickup, an apartment, a hospital appointment with someone beside you, and the visa paperwork nobody explains — from the first day to the first month.

WHAT WE HANDLE

Six things that block you in the first week

None of them are hard. What's hard is not knowing which counter, which queue, which sentence.

Airport & transport

Someone at arrivals with your name, a SIM card set up on the way in, and a car booked for your first week.

Apartment & lease

Shortlisted by commute and budget, viewed with you, and the lease read before you sign — including the clause that quietly costs people two months' deposit.

Hospital appointments

Booking, an escort who translates at the desk and in the consulting room, and a written summary of what the doctor actually said.

Visa & residence permit

Work permit, residence permit, police registration. We prepare the file and go to the counter with you.

Banking, SIM, utilities

Account opening (you do need to be there), a phone contract, utilities transfer, and the delivery and ride-hailing apps actually working.

Daily life

School shortlists, a gym, a driver, pet relocation — the small things that eat a foreigner's first week.

HOW IT STARTS

Four steps, from booking the flight to the end of week one

  1. 01

    City and dates

    Landing time, the area you'll stay in, and what's already arranged. If nothing is arranged, say so — we won't guess.

  2. 02

    A plan and a fixed price

    Every item priced separately. Buy the airport pickup alone, or the whole settling-in package.

  3. 03

    Someone meets you

    Name card at arrivals, a local number, and a group chat — so you can reach a person on day one.

  4. 04

    A list, then weekly follow-up

    At the end of week one you get a list: done, waiting on documents, and who to see next.

PRICING

Per visit, or as a package

Buy a single hospital escort if that's all you need. No bundles, no long contract.

Service Price Notes
Airport pickup, SIM included ¥300–500 PVG, SHA, SZX and other major airports
Hospital escort ¥800–1,200 / visit Booking, escort, translation, written summary
Apartment viewing ¥600 / half day Usually three to five units
Lease review ¥800 / lease English mark-up on deposit and penalty clauses
Visa or residence permit filing from ¥1,200 Government fees excluded
Settling-in package, 7 days from ¥8,000 Pickup, apartment, bank, SIM and one hospital booking

On medical matters we only book, escort and translate. We do not give medical advice and we are not responsible for clinical outcomes. In an emergency call 120 first. Same-day response in Shenzhen and Shanghai; Beijing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Chengdu need a week's notice.

SPECIMEN · NOT A CLIENT PROJECT

The first three days, as a checklist

What can be done on day one, what must come first, and which document each step needs. Get the order wrong and you queue twice.

When What What to bring
Arrival day Pickup, then a local phone number — everything else needs SMS codes Passport, hotel or address
Day 1, morning Bank account Passport, work permit, proof of address
Day 1, afternoon Police registration — legally due within 24 hours Passport, lease, copy of the landlord's ID
Day 2 Hospital appointment or employment health check Passport, previous records if relevant
Days 3–7 Viewings, lease, utilities transfer Passport, employment letter

The value here is the order: the phone number comes before the bank (you need SMS codes), police registration after the lease (they ask for it). Wrong order turns three days into a week.

FAQ

What to ask before you fly

Can you book a hospital appointment for me?

Yes — we need your passport details and a description of the symptoms. We book, escort and translate, but we don't give medical advice; the hospital decides which department.

Who is responsible if something goes wrong medically?

We are not a medical provider. Our job is that you understand the doctor and the doctor understands you. Clinical decisions belong to the doctor and to you, not to us. That is written into the contract.

Can you receive packages or pay things for me?

Small amounts, yes, with receipts. We don't handle large payments or hold funds for you — that turns us into your bank, and the risk isn't worth it for either side.

What should I send in advance?

Passport name, visa type, arrival city and time, which area you plan to stay in, and what is already arranged. With those we can quote accurately.

Are you only in Shenzhen and Shanghai?

Full-time in Shenzhen and Shanghai. Beijing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Chengdu with a week's notice. Anywhere else, ask — if we can cover it we'll say so, and if we can't we'll say that too.

City, dates, and what's already sorted

If you remember the day before you fly, message anyway — what can be arranged that day will be.

  • Buy one service, no bundle required
  • English throughout, no Chinese needed
  • A real person to reach on day one

A quote costs nothing. 50% deposit to start, balance on delivery — both written into the contract. We use your details only to answer this request.
