[quote=GUESTGUEST2603,48819]I am a foreignor moving to Shanghai end September with my company. 
Prior to my move I will undertake a 1 week trip to beijing mid-september for a work-related seminar.
Due to the difficulty in obtaining a business visa around olympics I have obtained a single entry tourist visa which I will use for my mid september trip.My company already has the employment licence and invitation letter obtained for getting my Z visa. (expires 25sep)
The problem is when I arrive in Shanghai end September, I will only be there for 2 weeks before taking vacation out of the country. As i understand it the Z visa will only allow me one entry and the time to process the residence permit is at least 3 weeks. Since I will leave before this 3 weeks needed to obtain the multi entry residence permit, how do I re-enter China? Do I have to go through the whole process again, or is it possible to get a tourist visa for the end sep to mid october as well, then enter in nov finally on z visa (which has to be applied for prior 25 september due to validity of employment licence/invitation letter)
Appreciate any advice anyone can offer
