The first step is to ask the employer in PRC to get the work permit and invitation letter of a duly authorized unit for those will work in PRC. And then those people need to prepare the following documents to apply for work Z type:
1. Passport and copy of its data page
2. The completed application form affixed with a recently-taken passport-sized color photo
