What is the procedure for Filipinos to work in China? Scope of use of work visa?

Foreigners who want to come to China need to apply for corresponding visas according to their own needs. If you are visiting, you can apply for a tourist visa, which is divided into two types: individuals and groups. If you are returning home to visit relatives, you can apply for a visit visa. There are also work visas and business visas, study visas, etc. So what procedures do Filipinos need to work in China and how to handle visas more conveniently?

Process for Filipinos to Work Visa in China

The first thing to go to is the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines to apply for a visa, or to download and fill in the form on the official website, so that the submission can be directly reviewed online. If photos or other materials cannot be reviewed online, they need to be submitted to the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines. However, one situation to pay attention to is the need to make an appointment in advance. Now, in order to prevent and control the epidemic, all agencies need to make an appointment in advance when handling business in order to fully meet their own handling needs. Otherwise, I can only stand at the door and have a look. I can't get in.

An invitation letter is required to apply for a work visa, which means to ensure that the applicant has a fixed job after arriving in China before applying, otherwise he will be refunded.

Can you get another visa to China and then apply for a work visa?

You can't work in China with a tourist visa. What kind of visa you apply for is what kind of activity restriction in China. If you exceed the scope of your visa, you will become an illegal worker. If you are holding a visit visa, you want to find a job in China, and you want to change your visa with your own certificate after finding a corresponding work unit. In short, it is a regulation that only work visas can work normally within China, and other visas are within the scope of illegal labor services.

Other visas can enter China, but if you want to work in China, you must have a unit to accept it, and the visa you hold is a work visa. Therefore, it is safer to find a job first and then apply for a visa.
