Q: Date on work permit and invitation letter is two months after my Z visa application

I will be applying for a Z visa at The Chinese Consulate in Vancouver (December 10th).  The date on my work permit is February 5th to August 5th. The date on my invitation (first entry is the 2nd of February). My question is am I applying for my Z visa too early? Or, do you think there will be no problem? Thanks in advance!

The Z visa is valid for 3 months from date of issue. So your Z visa enter before date will be 10th March if it is issued on the 10th Dec.

the invitation is 3 month valid, i think you 'd better apply soon, then you can come to china soon after the z visa. coz the z visa in 3 month valid but after you enter china, it is one month. 

 

usually Feb is the Chinese year. Avoiding lack of "work" force or too many applicants for resident permit, to apply z visa earlier is a good idea.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
