Visas & travel

Work visa and residence permit

The work permit, the Z visa and the residence card for a company owner or staff, from eligibility assessment to holding the residence card in China.

Living in China goes through a work permit: your company obtains it for you as its legal representative or an employee, you then get a Z visa from your country, and after entry it is exchanged for a residence card of a year or more. Each stage has its conditions and documents, and some need legalisation by your foreign ministry and the Chinese embassy before you travel.

We start with an honest assessment of your eligibility — degree, years of experience, age, the company’s capital — and tell you your chances before you pay. Then we run the whole file through to the residence card.

The stages

  • Eligibility assessment and category
  • Work permit notification from the labour bureau
  • Z visa from the Chinese embassy in your country
  • Medical check and registration after arrival
  • Work permit and residence card

No company yet? Residence requires one, and we register it within the same plan, with the right address and capital.
