Applying for a Work Visa for China (Z Visa)

Are you planning to work permanently at a Chinese company or at a foreign firm's branch in China? Or are you looking to work temporarily for 30 to 180 days, perhaps on an installation project or similar assignment? In either case, you will need a Z-category work visa.

Conditions for the Z Work Visa

A Z visa is generally issued for a single entry.

Upon arrival in China, as an employee, you must apply for a residence permit within 30 days. This permit is typically issued for one year and can be renewed annually if you continue your employment.

For short-term employment up to 30 days, converting to a residence permit is not required.

Benefits of the Residence Permit: With a residence permit, you can freely enter and exit China, offering significant flexibility during your employment.

Additionally, your employer will usually need:

a) Your highest academic diploma or degree,

b) A current police clearance certificate, which must be authenticated by the Chinese embassy.
