In order to support foreigners living and working in Xiamen, XMFSC set up Foreigner Support Center at the beginning of 2010. The English-speaking and Japanese-speaking staff members are devoted to offering a full range of services such as translation, arrangements on medical treatment, emergency help, agent services on visa and permit, agent services on personal income tax, house leasing and legal support. In the past few years, the Foreigner Support Center has been developing gradually, winning great applauses from those foreigners ever helped. Some of the foreign friends even consider the Center as “911 in Xiamen for Foreigners”.
