❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about China visa and immigration

The standard work permit application takes 4-6 weeks from document submission to approval. This includes obtaining the Work Permit Notification Letter (2-3 weeks), Z visa application (1 week), and post-arrival Work Permit and Residence Permit (2-3 weeks).
