 Posted: Tue Jun 27, 2017 1:24 am Post subject: Shanghai work permit |
 |
|
| Currently I am in the US waiting on the school that hired me in Shanghai to send my work permit so that I can apply for the Z-Visa. Of course Shanghai has introduced the new system and underwent a lot of changes. I am supposed to be in Shanghai July 12th, but yet to receive the work permit. Its 16 days until July 12th. Does it usually take this long? Whats happening, i'm panicking? I did speak with my recruiter and he said that the foreign expert bureau is just moving slow and hopefully the work permit is ready by the end of the month. |

I responded to this on the general forum. But better to post it again here as others may well be in a similar pickle! GL |

When did you send off the last of your documents?
It took me from end of April to the beginning of June - about 5-6 weeks- to get the permit back and apply for the Z Visa.
Have you booked flights or organised anything else concrete around this particular date? if not, I would suggest rolling with it and just asking for weekly updates from the school.
Of course, there is no harm in perhaps applying for some other positions in case this one does not come through. I had a backup offer ready when the visa papers came through, so I guess I was not totally chilled about the wait either! |

| My documents arrived to the school in Shanghai on May8th so it's been over a month now. I spoke with my recruiter and he has only been saying he will let me know when he hears something back. |
