Other
visa's :
It is illegal to work in China on an 'L' or 'F' visa!
To work in China you must have a 'Z' visa, which is
effectively your work permit, (Or 'D' visa = Residency).
Exceptions include only Journalists, subject to status.
If you are teaching in China, or working for reward,
you must get a 'Z' visa
Since regulations were tightened prior to the Olympics,
many Chinese Companies and official institutions have
lost the Certification to invite Foreigners for work.
They try and get round this by telling you it is a
"Part-time" contract. However, this leaves
you liable to prosecution, so don't do it!
You can apply personally for a 'Z' visa, but you will
need the co-operation of your employers in order to
be successful
Please contact our good friend Nancy Li from
ChinaBiz21
if you need a 'Z' visa
