Dear Editor,
I have got the RO License already in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. But, my Lawyer (I talked with 2) says although I am the Chief Rep., the rules has been changed, Now, even being the Chief, I cant transfer my F visa to a Res Permit. They saying, I also need to apply for Z visa similar like other Reps of the Company. Can you plz suggest me the Rules? Regards.

Dear Mahbub,

A chief representative is able to enter China on a business visa (F) and apply for a work permit and residence permit once the RO has been approved by the authorities. All other foreign employees of the company however will need to apply for a Z visa in the country of residency.

Hello Lou,
Yes a passport with a residence permit will be stamped at border crossings from Hong Kong to the mainland. Pls. contact our Shenzhen office at shenzhen@dezshira.com for more details on how to obtain a residence permit in the area.

Cheers,

If the passport is stamped/sticker with residence permit, would the passport still be stamped every time going through “check point” between HK and China?

How to obtain a China Identity card for long term resident for Representative Office (RO)like HK ID card to go through check point of e-channel?

Also where to go to apply for long-term residence permit in SZ? (from the Exit and Entry Department of Shenzhen Public Security Bureau)

Pls advise Thanks
