Q: How do I get a motorcycle license with an F visa and no residence card?

I don't think I am allowed to get a motorcycle drivers license without a residence card. Is there a way I can get a motorcycle license without a residence card, or is there a way to get a residence card with only a 6 month F visa? I have everything else needed for the motorcycle license except the residence card.
Thanks :]

You need a residency permit, sorry...

Are all residency permits for a year or can I just get a 6 month one?

Where I live you can get a car licence easily enough as long as your visa is good for six months, but they won't give you a motorcycle licence at all, not sure why. Foreigners around just ride their motorbikes. I have an Ebike, the police don't seem to worry us at all.

Motorcycle license is becoming a rarity, they are actually causing more deaths in China than anyother vehicle accidents. Cities like Beijing have almost completely stopped giving them out. As for a drivers license, well if you don't have a resident visa you can get a temporary if your homecountry drivers license is valid, but it's only good for fleet vehicles.

Hmmm this is going to be harder than I thought thanks for all the info :]

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
