Question

Hi, I want to go to Shanghi to visit, if on a visitor's (L) visa, if when I,m there I become interested in taking up employment, what do I have to do. Do I apply (there) for a Z visa or do I have to leave China, apply then return. I am a UK passport hoder.

Mr.James · Answer

Mr.Dickson, you have to leave China and apply for a China work visa in Uk, then return to China, generally speaking, it is hard to change your L visa to Z visa. However, if you work in a public school or a public university/college, the school or university can help you to get a Z visa within Mainland China, then you don't need to exit China.

Ms.monicazeng · Answer

You should not go abroad to apply for a Z visa, you can change your L visa to Z visa without leaving China.
