Visa and Job Opportunity Questions

Printer-friendly version

Hello Everyone,

My name is Brendan and I am a 25 year old Canadian. I will be moving from Taiwan to Shenzhen in the coming months for work. I have a few questions regarding visa/business opportunities:

1. My employer wants to give me an L Visa (tourist visa) for 6 months - 1 year. Should I accept this visa to work on? Or is it too dangerous?

2. Do I have to register for a Z visa in my home country? Can I change an L visa into a Z visa?

3. Do I need to change a Z visa to a permit resident visa for PRC once I arrive in Shenzhen?

4. Do I need to register with the local police department?

5. I have extensive experience in trade, marketing, sales, and HR. I am looking for potential job opportunitis in Shenzhen, however at the moment many of the online job postings are quite vague and misleading. Is it ok to come to Shenzhen on a L visa, find a job, then go home and get my Z visa? Would anyone recommend this? Also is it easy to find work once landing in Shenzhen. Please note I am not too keen on teaching English.

6. Any other information you feel might be useful please do not hesitate to add.

Also, if you are working for a company who is looking for a native speaking foreigner with experience in Sales, Marketing, Trade or HR I would greatly appreciate any leads.

I can be contacted directly at brendan.w.oneill@gmail.com for further information.

Thank you for taking the time to help me with my future conquest.

Respectfully,

Brendan O'Neill
