Q: Are more offices in China casual (clothing-wise)?

There is always a large lack of people on the metro wearing suits for work? why is everyone always dressed so casually?

People who wear suits drive, they don't take public transport.  In general, however, what is seen as acceptable in office attire is quite different from the west.  I.E wearing mini skirts and pretty much no guys wearing ties.

Yes, "office clothes" are much more "unofficial" for our point of view...

 

 

Specially in "not biggest" companies, and middle level management stuff.

Imagine a production manager in full suit, that have to out of office and go to the production line, where there is no air condition. He would be cooked in a minutes Smile

 

 

So there is nothing unusual to see a managers and (specially) owners of the company in very, very non formal clothes...

 

and YES, they DON'T go to work by a public transportation Wink

 

 

When visiting a 2-nd, ant 3-th tier cities - I see almost no formal dressed "bosses" and managers.

In big cities and in sectors other then production I expect to be a little different.

A vast majority wear too casual clothes ... normally men... I have had company meetings in 5star hotels... but guys turn up in shorts and round neck tshirts...

 

Had annual partyies with dress code color... but again.. as hey wish.. ~25% followed color code..

 

Worst is guys coming to office with tshirts having small holes... color shaded away... etc... which i wont even wear while playing badminton!!

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change student visa to labourer one is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
