About:Chinese Temporary Residence Permit

Hi ! I am from Manila, Philippines. I am hired by a textile company in china but since it is their first time to hire expats from the philippines, we are not very aware of the procudures. As of today, the factory is applying for an invitation letter from the ministry of labor so that i will be able to use it in applying for a Z visa here in the Philippines before I go to china. However, until now, we did not receive any news yet. Can you please inform me how many days does the application for invitation letter from the labor minsitry takes place? also, kindly guide me with the steps on howe to apply for a z visa (eg. requirements and procedures). Thank you very much!

Ms.chile, I don't know the processing time for the Invitation Letter from the labor ministry, as far as I know, the requirements for work visa application are:

1. Applicant's passport with blank pages and at least 6 months validity left before expiration.

2. A truly and completely filled application form affixed with one passport-size or 2x2 colored photo, with white background, full-face front view, and no hat. Photo must be glued on the application form. Stapled pictures will not be accepted. Scanned photos will also not be accepted.

3. An original Visa Notification Form issued by Chinese authorized unit.

4. Original Working Permits issued by Ministry of Labor and Social Security

5. All working visa applicants shall provide a Physical Examination Certificate for Foreign Citizen (physical exam forms, guidelines and list of accredited hospitals are available at the visa counter).

6. All Philippine passport holders who will go to China for the first time must submit an original NBI clearance valid for travel abroad.

7. The emergency contact information page in the applicant's passport should be filled out and photocopied.

8. Other documents required by the visa officers if necessary.

If you have prepared all the requirements, you can submit them to the visa office of Chinese embassy or consulate in Philippines according to the consular districts, no appointment is required. You can submit them in person or entrust someone else to submit them on your behalf.

Ms.chile, yes, I think so, if the Ministry of Labor and Social Security can't issued the visa notification form, he can tell your employer go to which government department to get it
