Twelve Services That Make Beijing Easier for Foreign Residents

Visa extensions, lease contracts, hospital bookings, bank accounts — the Living Hall aggregates twelve categories of licensed services designed for foreigners, with bilingual descriptions and published price ranges.

Six categories are already online for booking; the rest are being onboarded. Each service lists its provider, license, processing time and complaint channel — the same standard online and at the 1F service desk.

Hongqiao Living Hall — online first, then in person at the market. For services mentioned in this article, see the Services section; for pearls and cultural goods, visit the retail section or the 4F gallery at the market.
