Hey All !
Greetings !
How much time does SAFEA take to process an application for a Z Visa concerning Residence Permit & Invitation Letter ?
9 years 33 weeks ago in Visa & Legalities - China
SAFEA does not process Z visas or any visa for that matter. Z visas can only be obtained from the Chinese Embassy in your country with an invitation letter from your prospective employer. With your Z visa (assuming it's approved) you will fly to China and get a medical check up. With the medical check up and your Z visa, your employer will apply for your RP together with a slew of documents such as your contract, company registration etc.
The visa application in your country depends on the embassy there. Usually it shouldn't take more than a week but I've heard some taking a month. For the RP, some take 2 weeks, some take a month, again depending on the province you are in.
The whole process from your Z visa approval till you get your RP is approximately 6 weeks, if all goes well. Good luck!
It varies from Province to Province.
