GUEST80167 Hi Everyone,

Thank you all so much for your valuable information here. May I please ask for some clarification on one point.

I have employment secured. The school is in the process of completing all of their end of the process. They will be providing me with all of the documentation needed to get a Z visa.

I want to travel to China ahead of time on a tourist visa to do some relaxing in my wife's home town and to get my daughter settled in.

Can anyone confirm 100% that yes, given I have all the paperwork ready, I can DEFINITELY fly to Hongkong for a week and do the transfer up to the Z visa there?

Also, what would I need to do with my daugher? She will be just over 2 years old at that stage.

Thanks so much for your help. If you could email me on gmail.com|piers888 that would be brilliant but I will check back here to replies.

Thanks again :D

GUEST80167: I think I can guarantee that you will run into problems (based on personal experience and knowledge of others). You should get your visa sorted out in your hjome country if at all possible. I am not sure if it is possible to et the Z visa in HK at all at present but if it is the paperwork has to be prepared for making the application in HK. I think your daughter will be granted a Z visa too. But your employer can clarify even if they have to ask! If they refuse to do such things, get another employer!!

There are four steps to apply work visa:

Step-1) Apply for "working license”：---it will take 11 working days;

Step-2) Apply for Z visa
If you don't want to leave the Mainland, then we could convert L/F visa to Z visa in the Mainland:

Step-3)“work permit”：
---it will take 5 working days, means 1 week;

Step-4)“Residence Permit”：
---It means extend your Work Visa or Residence Permit which is been done in Step 2 to a "12-month valid Residence Permit";
--it will take 5-10 working days.

You can try to extend your L visa for another 3 months, but you can't change it into Z visa, you can go to Hong Kong or return to Philippines to apply for a work visa as dependent, please refer to http://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa-application-philippines.htm to read the requirements.

It is not easy for your Filipino girlfriend to get a visa to China if she has never been to China. For first time applicants to China (Philippine passport holders, 18 years old and above), they are required to provide the following:
a) original NBI clearance valid for travel abroad
b) original bank certificate with receipt or original passbook, updated within the month that you are applying or....
- If an individual will sponsor the trip, provide his bank certificate, sponsorship and invitation letter, copy of sponsor's valid residence visa and passport information page or Chinese national ID. Do you work or reside in Guangzhou, if not, you can't be her sponsor.

c) for employed persons, also provide an employment certificate, company ID, SSS ID and contributions, TIN ID and latest ITR
d) for students, provide school ID
e) for businessmen, provide business registration of company, TIN ID and latest ITR
f) Personal appearance is required for those who are 16-21 years old.

A copy of the round-trip plane ticket of hotel bookings are required, you can book the hotels from UK, but the name of booker should be her name.
