Hello to all, first time posting here.

So, I was in China for an interview for a week last month and was under the impression that all was well with my visa application process. However, I was just told by the company that the local government has told them that I need to visit at least twice before applying for a permit or stay for more than 15 days the first time. Has anyone else heard of this rule?

BTW, the job is in Zhoushan, near Shanghai. Let me know what you think or if you think there is some other problem involved. I am getting worried about other problems that may suddenly prop up through this process.

Thank you

Hello. I am an ESL teacher living in China. I am from the USA and teaching in Weifang. I am no expert, but I never heard of such a policy. I personally think someone is giving you bogus information...unless...what nationality are you? Are you a U.S. or British citizen? If you are from a DIFFERENT English speaking country, there could be different rules in place. But honestly, I think what they are telling you doesn't make sense.

You need to apply for the residence permit within 15 days after you arrived in China.

On Nov 12th, 2014 secty of state Kerry signed an agreement with China, for 10 year Visas for US citizens. You have to leave to another country each 60 days. I go from Shenzhen to Hong Kong.
I think you are getting the bums rush.
Just go across the border and apply for your work permit.
