How it works
Your six-step journey to a China work visa
Navigate the China work visa process with confidence through our comprehensive, guided approach.
- Pre-Qualification Eligibility assessment & official report 1. Work Visa Pre-QualificationVisaHQ's first step is a thorough pre-qualification assessment to determine your eligibility for a China work visa. Our platform then generates a customized document detailing your qualifications, which you can attach to your resume when applying for jobs. This document shows potential employers that you have already taken important steps toward obtaining a visa, making you a more attractive candidate.
- Free Consultation 1-on-1 with immigration specialist 2. Free Consultation with an Immigration SpecialistVisaHQ offers a free consultation with a dedicated immigration specialist. During this session, you can discuss your unique circumstances, clarify any questions about China visa requirements, and gain a solid understanding of the overall application process. This personalized advice helps you make informed decisions and feel confident about your path forward.
- Application Prep Forms, documents & translations 3. Expert-Led Application & Document PreparationVisaHQ helps you navigate China’s rigorous documentation standards with ease. Our team assists in compiling all necessary documents—including your employment contract, passport, academic degree (with authentication), police clearance certificate, and professional experience verification. We handle authentication and legalization through your country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy, as well as certified translations where required. With VisaHQ, every document is accurate, complete, and ready for submission.
- Case Submission Filed with immigration authority 4. Employer Coordination & Government SubmissionYour Chinese employer plays a crucial role in obtaining your Notification Letter of Foreigner’s Work Permit, issued by the Chinese government. VisaHQ works directly with your sponsor to ensure their part of the application is filed correctly with the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs (SAFEA) or the appropriate provincial authority. We align your timeline with your employer’s, monitor progress, and ensure your Notification Letter is issued promptly and without delays.
- Approval Official notification received 5. Visa Approval & Work Permit AuthorizationOnce your Notification Letter is approved, VisaHQ helps you apply for the Z visa at the nearest Chinese consulate. We review your full application package, assist with scheduling your appointment, and ensure you are fully prepared for submission. With VisaHQ managing the process, you’ll avoid common mistakes and move confidently toward visa issuance.
- Consulate Visit Finalize at nearest consulate 6. Arrival Support & Residency CompletionAfter arriving in China, VisaHQ continues to support you through the final steps. We guide you through the medical exam, police registration, and Work Permit card issuance, and help you convert your Z visa into a Residence Permit, which officially authorizes your long-term stay and employment. Our local knowledge ensures nothing is overlooked, and your transition into life and work in China is smooth and compliant.
