Q: How can an expat get a Chinese work visa as a consultant?
Do you have any experience or knowledge of getting a Chinese visa based upon doing consulting work (NOT as a regular employee) with a company in China?
If so, I would very much appreciate talking or corresponding with you.
I am an American, currently living in Kunming, China.

A residence permit will be difficult.
But if you own a company in the US, and you are paid from that company, in America, then a business visa is ok. But your base has to be your home country.
You could try set a wofie up. But not easy.... needs money.
What do you consult?
ScotsAlan:
Anywhere outside China I suppose, so long as you have a right to work there.

the other option to my answer on there about a WFOE is to have your company based outside china, get paid outside China & live here on a business visa. As others answered on that thread, there are slight risks involved & the cost of visa runs every 30 or 60 days.
