Chinese vIsa questions.

Post by juansweetpotato »

Anyone know what I need to work in China? I think I need to get a Z visa (1month?) and then when I get to China, register with the local office of something or other.
Any help on this especially in relation to acquiring a Z visa from PP Chinese Emb or from an employer in China would be much appreciated.

Wasn't too bad as it was summer (so the coal power plants were idling, relatively) and I was in Hangzhou where electric vehicle policies have been implemented. India was far worse.

You need an 'invitation letter' from your Chinese employer, and (completely from memory, verify this) it needs to be endorsed/stamped by the equivalent of the Department of Labour in China. This needs to accompany your visa application to the Chinese embassy. It supposedly takes two weeks in Australia (no idea for Cambodia) to process an application but a family member walked my application through (I was in remote WA) and got it back in two days for a small fee.

I recall the greatest difficulty I had was making sure I was submitting the correct paperwork for the correct visa. The Chinese website is/was incredibly unhelpful on visa categories.
