z. visa for uk national living in vietnam.

Question

I and my husband currently live in Vietnam. I have been offered a teaching post in Yantai in China. We are both British Citizens and Nationals. It is only I who requires a Z type as my husband has no plans to seek employment relying on my income to maintain us both. I have a Masters degree which certificate is with me here in Vietnam. I have family in England who, if necessary, can attend any offices in the UK as appropriate. What steps do I need to take to obtain this Z type. Can I do all of the application here in Ho Chi Min city or must it be made from the UK. Must my degree be certified and if so by which authority and thereafter must it be further certificated by a Chinese embassy or consulate either in the U K or in Saigon. Thank you

Hi Georgia, it's possible that you can apply for the work Z type here in Vietnam if you have a residence permit there. You can do all the applications here in Ho Chi Min City. You just need to prepare all required documents, including your passport, passport copy, application form, photo, residence permit in Vietnam, and work permit and invitation letter from duly authorized unit, which should be obtained by your employer. Then go to the embassy to submit the documents. It's possible that your degree certificate will be required when applying for the Z type and residence permit when you are in PRC.The degree certificate should be notarized first by a notary public in UK, and then notarized by the Foreign Affairs Ministry of UK or its designated agencies. Then you can ask your family to take this paper to the PRC embassy or consulate to authenticate. After all this has been done, they can send the documents to you for future use.
