[quote=APAULT,250269]I have no experience about the China visa, but I seem to remember hearing that you are not allowed to work. I would especially doubt that you can work until March. Indeed, based on the way Z visas work, I would guess the college should notify the authorities you have finished studies. Another post had a problem that his visa was 'cancelled' without him realising it. Yes you could be fined and deported. Why not check with the college and say you are travelling, so will they be notifying the authorities you have completed ?? If your employer has never hired a foreigner before and don't know the procedures, it is unlikely they have the permit to hire them (as my current employer doesn't). The options are that the employer can find another organisation to hire you and they contract you to your current employer (not so differEnt from contract employment in other countries). There are companies who specialise in thsi for a fee of course. Alternatively you could apply for and work on an F visa. It is doubtful whether this is technically legal but many peopel are employed this way even with the knowledge of the local PSB (I was employed this way in the past). If you are employed by an overseas company and sent to work in China then the F visa should definitely be OK, but then your employer has to pay the money overseas which might be a problem, or pay you unofficially (probably quite easy) in which case you are back to the proposition of working and being paid here on the F visa...!! At the moment, we all believe (I think) that you have to exit the mainland to apply for a Z visa. My contracting employer says I won't have to, but this has not been put to the test yet, but they should be starting the process this week... I will announce the outcome![/quote]
