Hello, I am in China now and want to apply for a Z work visa for a job in Shenzhen. I want to go to the Chinese consulate in Hong Kong but they say I must go to my "country of residence" for this and I cannot do it in Hong Kong. I'm a U.S. citizen but my country of residence is Thailand - I have a house and family there and have lived there for many years, but am in China now. Can I apply for the Z work visa in Bangkok? I have all the Z visa documents, a work contract, police report, and health certificates. Thank you for your reply.
