I came to China on an L visa, then received the Z visa from my employer. I'll be leaving this job soon and I'm wondering if, since this Z visa is tied to this company, would I have to leave the country immediately after quitting to re-set back to my L visa? Is there some kind of grace period that allows me to stay in the country to find some other work?
Thanks

If you've been in CHina more than 30 days you no longer have a valid Z visa. What do you have in your passport right now that replaced that? Razz

Huh? Sorry, I don't understand.
I was in China on an L visa for 20 days, and then converted to a Z visa for 2 months.

Your situation sounds a bit odd. A Z visa is normally only valid for 30 days after you enter the country and then you hand over your passport to have a residence permit placed inside. The residence permit looks similar to the visa but with different details, and it replaces the Z visa for the rest of your stay.
