These are the things you need to get your Z-visa. In this case, I’m visiting the protectorate, Hong Kong.
- Passport: – At least 3 spare pages.
- Experts certificate.
- Invitation letter: – Obtained from your employer.
- Medical examination: – Get this IN CHINA. One from anywhere else isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. Don’t let anyone tell you any different.
- Completed v2011A – Fill in your forms!
- Completed v2011B
Without all of these, plus your fee, you won’t be getting a work permit, or residents permit.
I usually use the Sunrise agency, and I have this time.
