New Shanghai Residents

Most parts of this guide contains information for both visitors and people who are newly settled in Shanghai. This section is aimed specifically at those long term new arrivals that plan to live here rather than come for a brief visit.

Firstly, most of the information in the checklist page for visitors will also apply to you if you are planning to come here on a more permanent basis, so be sure to check it out.

Below I've covered additional topics that apply more to people who are here long term. Some content requires you to sign up for membership, but there is currently no cost for this, so please don't hesitate to sign up!
