Q: Workaround to live in China after the expiring of student visa

I am going to get graduated soon from my university but unfortunately, I am still unable to find a reliable job that will provide me a work permit. However I am doing a little student consulting and trading business that earns me some cash and I am seeing potential in growing on it. But the problem is that my student visa is going to be expired soon. The only solution I came up with is by applying for a Chinese language course in a university and then they will give me the visa but for that I have to pay the whole damn fees which is around (13000yuan per year) and considering that I am paying that amount for just to live in China is freaking annoying idea and out of my current budget. I wonder what will be the better way than this that can provide me staying visa whatever kind it is. Please advice.

get married in China

Scandinavian:

yeah, my two year visa took less than an hour to get done, cost 800RMB.... oh, I am of course obliged to do certain husband wife things with my wife. 

13000RMB/year is a lot cheaper than having a wife, just the shoe-budget.....

Yeah not much you can really do. They don't want people hanging around here without jobs.

 

What country are you from? If you're from the right place you can get a job in a less developed province even with no experience. But yeah probably not anywhere you can run a trading business from.

You may have to suck it up and pay the student fees, until you can establish yourself with a visa. There are cheaper options, if you don't go to a university. There are other language schools that can provide visas, but they will be decidedly more dodgy than unis i think 

 

good luck laugh

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
