[quote=GUEST10066,335623]Hi, Welcome to China. Apply a Z visa is a very long procedure, I am not sure you can apply it successfully, but here is the general procedures in Guangzhou (sorry, I only know how it works in Guangzhou, but I guess everywhere should be the same). 1. Varify Stage (Go to local Division of Exit & Entry Administration Department of Public Security with follow documents, and apply for the varification, if you pass it, you will received one paper with approal stamp) - Fill " Application forms for Employment Permission For Foreigners" with company stamp(you can either download from Labour Department or ask for it at Labour Department), prepare 2 forms - One Passport Front Page copy and One valid visa page copy - Education Certificate and one copy (if your certificate is not written in English, you need to go to authorized department translate your certifcate either into english or into Chinese, I think you better translate it into chinese) - Since you are living in China, you also need to provide the orignal document of "Registration form of temporary residence for visitors - Company Proof (explaining why they need to hire you, pls use a paper with company name, address, tel etc to print it), company license and its copy, and company code certificate. (if your company it is first time hire foreigner, they also need to provide the copy of company rule/regulation 2. Apply "Working Permit" ( Go to local Labour Department with the above documents and the approval letter from the Entry and Exit Admin. Dept apply for "Working Permit") 3. Once the "Working Permit" has been issued, take this to Bureau of Forign Trade and Economic Cooperation of your city to apply the working visa. (there are more documents need to provide in this stage, but the details pls visit the follow link. it is in Chinese, but I guess your husband can read it) http://www.gzboftec.gov.cn/web/Business/business3.htm 4. If the stage 3 go smoothly, the next stage is apply "Z" visa at the Chinese Embassy either in your own country or via HongKong (Since recently, the regulation changed a lot, you better apply this in your own country, or double check with HongKong Office (Tel.no. 00852-34132424) 5. Once you apply "Z" visa successfully, you need to apply "residence permit for foreigners" when you arrive in China at Exit & Entry Admin. Dept That is it. Wish you all the best!! [/quote]
