working permit to china

Arlene, as Chinese family do not have the qualification for hiring foreigners, I'm afraid your friend cannot get the work permit for you by legal ways. If you want to apply for a toursit type enry permit, the longest time for you to stay in China may be only one month. The document you need to submit include your passport which has at least six months' validity and two or more blank pages, a photocopy of your passport's photo page, a completely and truly filled application form, a recently-taken half-length color photo, the original and photocopy of your Cypriot residence permit or stay permit, and an invitation letter from your friend. In the letter, your freind cannot indicate your intention of working for him. Otherwise, the application may be rejected.
