Many
foreign talents misunderstand the Category A work permit scoring
rules, thinking high salary alone is enough to qualify. In fact, the
85-point scoring standard is one
of the official recognition channels for Shanghai Category A high-end
talents.
The total score is accumulated through five major dimensions:
education, work experience, salary, Chinese proficiency, and shortage
occupation recognition. Missing eligible bonus points or misjudging
scoring items easily leads to insufficient scores.

不少外籍高端人才申报上海A类工签，普遍存在积分认知误区：误以为薪资达标就能直接获评A类高端人才。依据上海外专局官方分类标准，外籍人才获评A类高端人才包含多种认定通道，积分≥85分是通用计点准入方式之一，该通道可豁免年龄、学历、工作经历硬性限制，享受优先审批相关权益。A类积分由学历、从业经验、申报薪资、汉语水平、紧缺岗位五大维度累加得出，很多申请人因漏算合规加分项、误判计分规则，导致总分不足无法获评A类资质。
