Hunny797 is correct. The company that has offered you the job has to get the work permit for you. There are quite a few topics on here that tell you what is needed. Use the search function. 

 

 

ScotsAlan:

I still have the procedure on my clipboard from a question I replied to 10 minutes ago.

 

Here you go wink

 

Here are the instructions I was given by an agent when I was applying for a Z visa:

 

Step 1: Submit and apply for approval

Step 2: Medical Exam and get the result

Step 3: Apply for the Alien Employment License

Step 4: Apply for the Invitation Letter

Step 5: Apply for Employment visa (Z visa) to enter into China (home country)

Step 6: Apply for <Registration form of Temporary Residence for Visitors> with Z visa.

Step 7: Apply for Alien Employment Permit within 15 days after entering China with Z visa)

Step 8: Apply for Alien Residence Permit (within 30 days after entering China with Z visa)--Need interview

 

I have just cut and pasted from another document. I am not sure what step one is.

 

Steps 1,2,3,4,7 and 8 were done with the agent.

 

Steps 5 and 6 I had to do myself.  It turned out however that I did not need to do the medical before going for the Z. I could have done that after I entered China.

 

 

Note:

 

If you applying for a Z visa for the first time, you will have to exit China to get it. You can nominate HK as your requested place, but if it's a pukka job it's easier to have your company pay for your trip home.

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 from student to labourer visa 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
