Q: What's the difference between the " Foreigners work permit " and " working permit "

What's the difference between the " Foreigners work permit " and " working permit " Because, my friend is preparing for z visa . She applied it and they have issued her "working permit " on March 5th. She was about to apply for the invitation but got informed it's no longer needed. 1). So can see still use the working permit to go home and apply the Z? Or she need to apply for the" Foreigners work permit ? Aside that, she is non native but she's great and had worked in that school for three yrs..
2). What are the needed documents for Z visa starting from April?

There's no difference, same thing, different names!

There is no longer a need for an invitation letter from about 2 weeks ago. As long as the employer has been issued with the work permit license then your friend can apply fo rthe Z-visa.

For non-native English speakers it is still possible in SOME areas to get legally employed but the information on where is hard to find.

Thanks for your information. My friend will be working in a town in Zhejiang province. Not really a big city

Q: Response time taken?

A: Nobody can tell you that! You could look at no-response-time in t

A:Nobody can tell you that! You could look at no-response-time in two ways: 1. 'Nobody is interested in your CV and hiring you ...'; or 2. 'Never, ever stop sending your CV to the daily posted job openings and simply disregard no-replies thingy!' It's wrong, to expect replies from the Chinese advertisers of a new job openings, 'cause Chinese don't behave same as western recruiters by replying: "Thank you for your job application. Unfortunately, you weren't selected at this time. We'll keep your CV on record and if new opportunity arises..." or something in those lines. So, the only remaining choice is no. 2. Looking for the new (non-native E.T.) position in my time in China was like a daily part-time job. Good luck! -- icnif77
