the z visa (working visa) only can be applied in the country of origin.

Question

Hi, the company I am applying to work for has told me the Z visa (working visa) only can be applied in the country of origin. Is this true? They said I have to send my passport back to the country of origin (UK) and have the Z visa processed there. I don't want to be without my passport, so can anyone help me? Many people have said I can get my visa in Hong Kong, so why would the company want me to send my passport?

China visa policy requires like this, but it can be flexible. Maybe your employer is prudential about this. So, just try to submit your application to the Commissioner's Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of PRC in HK.
