为进一步优化外国人来华工作体验，提升管理效率，自2025年1月15日起，陕西省正式落地实施外国人工作许可证与社会保障卡融合集成，依托社会保障卡的各项功能，为在陕工作的外国人提供更加便捷、高效的服务。 In order to further optimize foreigners' work experience in China and improve management efficiency, Shaanxi Province will officially implement the integration of foreigners' work permits and social security cards from January 15, 2025, and provide more convenient and efficient services for foreigners working in Shaanxi based on the functions of social security cards.
“刚刚得知，我是陕西省第一个拿到这张卡的外国人，这对我来说真是一个惊喜。” "I just learned that I was the first foreigner in Shaanxi Province to get this card, which is really a surprise to me."

外国人工作许可证和社会保障卡是外国人来华、在华工作生活的重要凭证。而在此之前，来华工作的外国人需要分别办理这两种证件。该项政策实施后，外国人入境后无需再办理实体工作许可证。“证卡融合”实体卡同时涵盖支付结算、资金发放等金融功能，为持卡外国人提供社会保障、就医购药、交通出行、文化旅游、金融消费等多个领域的便捷应用，真正实现在华生活工作“一卡通”。 Foreigners' work permits and social security cards are important vouchers for foreigners to work and live in China. Before that, foreigners working in China need to apply for these two kinds of certificates respectively. After the implementation of this policy, foreigners do not need to apply for physical work permits after entering the country. The "card integration" physical card also covers financial functions such as payment and settlement, fund issuance, etc., providing convenient applications in many fields such as social security, medical treatment and medicine purchase, transportation, cultural tourism, financial consumption, etc. for foreigners with cards, and truly realizing the "one card" for living and working in China.
