Z VISA to work in China for 12 Months

guestMichael	Hi Guys I have been flipping through this forum for information on Z Visa, I was hoping if anyone can take a look at my summary and confirm that I didn't miss anything. I am a Canadian citizen and is looking for employers in China that would hire me for 12 month contracts. So once I get a job offer from the employer here are the following procedures that I should follow: 1. Employer apply and send me Employment Licence and Visa Notification Letter 2. Use the above to apply for a Z Visa from within Canada 3. Upon arrival in China, I need to take the Full Medical Exam 4. Take the result from the Medical Exam to apply for a Residency Permit Could anyone confirm this? Much appreciated! - Michael

GUEST7837	Yes, you know clearly about the Z visa application. One thing you have to know is that the Z visa is valid for only 30 days from the date of arrival during which time you and your employer must seek a Temporary Residence Permit for the duration of your contract, to a maximum of 12 months.
