Z Visa to Residence Permit Conversion in China, The 30-Day Step

The Z visa is a single-entry visa that gets you into China. The residence permit is what lets you live here and leave and re-enter for your contract. The conversion turns one into the other.

You risk falling out of status, and extensions aren't guaranteed. The safe approach is to start immediately on arrival, which is exactly what we plan for.

Usually yes, a health examination at a designated facility is commonly part of the work-permit and residence-permit step. We arrange it as part of the timeline.

It's risky. The Z visa is single-entry, so leaving before your residence permit is issued can strand you outside. We plan the timeline so you don't need to.

Both. Your employer files the work permit; you apply for the residence permit. We coordinate the two so nothing is missed.

Typically it's tied to your contract length and is renewable. We handle renewals so your status stays continuous.

Generally your passport, photos, the work-permit documents and your health check, but the exact list depends on your case, which we give you in advance.

The conversion is handled where you're registered to work and live. We manage the local filing wherever that is.
