    Exclamation CHINA WORK Z VISA FOR SHENZHEN

    Hi All!

    Re: China Work Z Visa for Full Time Employment in Shenzhen

    I have been offered a job by a Chinese company in Shenzhen, China.
    Does anyone know a good company in Shenzhen or Hong Kong that can handle the China Work Z Visa application process (right from the start including helping obtain the foreign expert permit / invitation letter).

    Also, please let me know of any good websites or books that out line the WHOLE process - as everything I have read conflicts !!

    I do not have a degree (this did not stop me getting my HK work visa) and would be working as a manger. Is it still possible to get the Z visa for China as a foreign expert (the only requirement I found was that I just need a valid work contract for the managerial position I will take up).

    MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP!!!
    James

    You're technically supposed to have a medical and fill-in some forms, and (in some cities) even attend an interview with the local public security bureau. I'm told it's really straight forward, however I never had to do any of that as the company that I worked for on the mainland used an even more straight forward approach to getting Z visas : buy a few drinks for a few officials. If the company that is sponsoring you has had any previous experience in obtaining Z visas, then they will probably have procedures in place already and will be able to tell you what you need to do.

    Hi M Khan,
    The China company has not hired a foreigner before, which is why I am trying to find out all the procedures.
    A good visa agent would be appreciated !
    Thanks All!
