Inquiry on Changing from Student Visa to Work Visa in China
I recently obtained a one-year student visa (X1) for China. However, in a month, I would like to change it to a work visa (Z visa), as a Chinese company is currently preparing the documents for my work permit application. I have a few questions regarding this process:
1. What is the procedure to change from a student visa to a work visa in China? Is it necessary to leave China and re-enter with the work visa, or can I change my visa status without leaving the country?
2. What potential difficulties might arise during this process? Are there specific documentation requirements or time constraints that could delay the transition?
I would appreciate any detailed information or guidance you could provide on these matters.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
