Hi.
I am in China and working. I am on a 3 month tourist visa at the moment. My school has applied for and received a foreign experts certificate for me and they were going to fly me to Hong Kong to get my Z-visa. They have been advised by "the government" ( the department that issued the foreign experts certificate) that I cannot get the Z-visa in Hong Kong but instead have to go home to Australia (Sydney, Canberra and Perth have Chinese embassies). My school will still do this if necessary but it would be better for both parties if I can get it in Hong Kong.
What are your thoughts/experiences? It would be a bugger to go to HK and then not be able to get my visa there.
Thanks
Tony |

| What's this about a medical exam when you get into the country? I am accepting a job in Zhejiang province. What exactly goes on in this medical exam? |

I had my Z Visa organized by my employer in GZ, 2 week after my arrival.
I had a 6 month only contract [heheheheeh]
Evidently I left after fulfilling my contract and was hired by a real employer one week later....
This last one transferred my visa to his account and renewed it twice later on...
I worked with a Z visa for 1 year 1/2.
Working now for the same employer, I came back yesterday from the PSB.
Great time, cool folks, actually one young officer spoke to me in 3 languages....
They changed my Z visa with a Resident Permit; BUT... they didn't give me back my little green book.
I only had back my pass. and my little red book.
Anything wrong? |

Nothing is wrong. As of late last year they began phasing out the green booklets and replacing them with a sticker in your passport. Many people like me who were on year-long contracts were not aware of this change.
I wish the official at the airport could've let me kept my green booklet as a souvenir. |

A contract of six months, or longer, meets one of the requirements for issuance of a Z visa. A contract would have to be for less than six months to fail to meet this test. |

Translation: you have to have a contract that is at least 6 months in length in order for you to be able to qualify for residence permit. |

I may have misunderstood what he wrote, but I thought he meant there was something irregular in his having gotten a Z visa, with a contract of only six months. My point was that it wasn't irregular, that a contract must be for a minimum of six months, to support an application for a Z visa.
If I misunderstood this part of his post, I'm sorry for the digression. |
