The SinoGuide app was officially launched at the 2025 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit in China. This mobile application, jointly developed by the National Immigration Administration and the Cyberspace Administration of China, offers a range of services in both Chinese and English to support foreigners living and working in the country.
Services and Features
The app integrates policy guidance on visas, residence permits, and work permits, providing clear and updated information on Chinese regulations. It also includes life services covering areas such as payments, transportation, and accommodation, designed to help users navigate daily activities more easily. Additional features, like a personal assistant function, aim to address everyday challenges and promote deeper integration into local communities.
Context and Availability
By combining digital services with a focus on user needs, the app supports China’s efforts to improve the experience for international residents, reflecting broader initiatives in digital innovation and foreigner services. Currently, the Android version is available on app markets including Huawei and VIVO, with an iOS version expected to be released later.
