If you want to work full-time, then please find a prospective employer and have the X visa converted to a Z visa but that will require paperwork and most likely a trip out-of-country although I have know this to not always be the case in Shanghai.

 

If you want to work part-time and remain on an X visa, just be aware of the risks that you will be incurring.  I am not saying that it is legally advisable at all but it has known to happen and the risks have also known to be incurred.

 

One caveat that I do see, however, and perhaps some of the more long-term members of this Board might chime in here, is that the PSB becomes extremely "vigilant" in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, etc., etc., as the year comes to an end and as the holidays approach.  This is usually the moment, meaning over the next two moths, when those working on F and X and L visas are either caught, if caught at all, or advised to lay low, etc., etc.  This is the period of time when LTC's, both licensed and non-licensed are routinely inspected.

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
