Yes, I do understand the business world in China is a totally different planet; there is laws, and then there is practice local style. There must be a lot of fire-hops to jump. It can be treacherous to say the least. I am so sick and tired of corporate cubicles, I am ready to take a chance. Of course, I try to prepare and learn as much as I can before I come over. Thank you for your input in our previous exchanges as well!
And thank you geekrider for answering my question.
I believe the "Z" will allow you to enter the country, and enables you to get a resident permit, which you can renew annually without leaving China.
I will be in the same situation as yuanyangren soon. I would really like to know all the paper works involved and its process. I will enter with a "L", and then change to a "Z" after my business is registered. But I don't see any "Z" instructions on the Chinese Embassy Bankok site, only "L" and "F".
Also, geekrider, why didn't you do a "Z" visa when you applied in the States? Is that because they don't issue "Z" inside US? I need to know this because I need to bring my partner over after I get mine done.
@gyyunyan,
Please share the info on this new school you found in the north, I'd like to know more. I will be in Kunming next summer with my 7 yrs old boy. Thank you!
