nope, you can not. first you have to finish the employment permit, invitation letter to HK to apply for z visa. then you can convert whatever visa you had into z visa. Then you come back to china for work permit and resident permit.

I was told you need to return to your country of origin. Is this true or can a run to HK or anyplace out of China be acceptable?

mike695ca:

in almost all but the rarest cases you will need to go back to your home country to change your visa from L or F to a Z , if you currently have a Z visa and are renewing or changing employers you shouldnt need to go back. Just to change the type of Visa to a Z

A:It happened to me, once ... in 2014 or 15 ... Plane from RP city (Tianjin) had a delay and I came to the exit (Luohu) some 7 hours after the RP expiration day.I had an excuse, but still I was put in a side office for some 3h and then cops had a short talk with '.. and make sure, it will never happened again! ..' and I was let go without anything on my record. At least, at new Z visa reentry nobody ever mentioned anything about delayed exit. However, I had a bad feeling at following Z visa application ...It's wiser to exit at least a day ahead of the RP expiration day. -- icnif77
