QVISA would like to talk with you: Is it easy to get a Chinese work visa at present? What are the requirements for an applicant? How to apply?
中国工作签证就是大家常说的“Z字签证”。Z字签证的居留事由为工作，颁发对象主要为申请在中国境内工作的人员，是用人单位必须要为外国就业者办理的合法就业手续。近些年来，随着中国各方面实力的高速发展，中国在国际上的地位也大有提升，接受中国公司邀请，来华工作的外国人才也越来越多。
The Chinese work visa is often referred to as the "Z-visa". The purpose of residence is to work, and the Z visa is mainly issued to people who apply to work in China. It is a legal employment procedure that employers must go through for foreign workers. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's strength in all aspects, China's status in the world has been greatly improved, and more and more foreign talents have accepted the invitation of Chinese companies to work in China.

后，签之家想给大家分享一个真实的案例：我们的客户F先生，他在不久前接受了中国一家企业的入职邀请，不过在这之前他首先要解决工作签证的问题。但是F先生对于中国签证的办理不是很熟悉，于是就在网站上搜索了一下办理机构。其中有一家规模不小的机构，声称自己可以保证让F先生顺利获签。结果当他缴纳完费用，走完流程之后，却以失败告终。
Finally, we would like to share with you a real case: our client, Mr. F, accepted a job offer from a Chinese company some time ago, but first he had to solve the problem of work visa. However, Mr. F was not familiar with the handling of Chinese visa, so he searched for the handling agency on the website. One of them, a large one, said it could guarantee Mr. F's visa. When he paid the fees and went through the process, he failed.
后来，经过F先生朋友的推荐，他找到了签之家，在和顾问老师沟通的过程中，发现签之家在签证办理方面的确非常，于是当即决定将事情交给我们。终签之家不负客户的信任，帮助其成功取得了工作签证。
Later, through the recommendation of Mr. F's friend, he found the signer's home. In the process of communicating with the consultant, he found that the signer's home was indeed very professional in visa processing, so he immediately decided to hand over the matter to us. Finally, she lived up to her client's trust and helped her successfully obtain a work visa.
通过这个案例，签之家想要提醒大家，在面对某些所谓的签证办理机构时，一定要注意警惕，首先考察其是否，以防上当受骗！
Through this case, we want to remind everyone that in the face of some so-called visa processing agencies, we must pay attention to vigilance, first of all, to investigate whether it is professional, in order to avoid being cheated!
签之家就和大家聊到这里了。其实申请人只要能够对应个人的实际情况，认真按照目前中国签证的办理要求进行准备，那么成功办理签证的难度是不大的。
That's the end of the signing house today. In fact, as long as the applicant can correspond to the actual situation of the individual and carefully prepare according to the current requirements of visa processing in China, it is not difficult to successfully apply for the visa.
