visa commencementexpiry dates

Question

My son has a 12 month contract in China starting 8 January 2013. How does he cover the 12 month period between 8 January 2013 and 8 January 2014?? Is it by a 12 month visa which would expire 12 months after application (i.e. probably in October/November 2013? If he applies for a 12 month, I understand it starts on the day of issue rather than first entry. Does this mean that, whenever he applies, he will need an extension to get through to 8 January 2014?  How are extensions in China obtained?Simon (UK)

You son needs to apply for a single entry Z visa in UK. The visa is valid for 3 months and with duration of 30 days. He should apply for a residence permit after entry within this 30-day period. Z expires and the permit will then work as a multiple entries based on the working contract.
