    5 year working visa? I’ve never heard of this. Is it a Z-visa?

    Officially you can only have 5 z visas then you have to leave the country for 1 year, but they have never really stuck to this rule. Recently I have heard of some cities get tough with the 5 year rule.

    A few years ago it was being enforced. A friend had to leave for 6 months. It used to be if you’d been here for 5 years continually working, without exiting the country. I believe the number of people affected was quite small, since most people leave for a holiday at least. Not sure about the current rules…

    I think this rule is still in affect. My current teaching job told me their previous teacher had to leave China because he had been working with them for 5 years strait. He will return next year.

    You can stay in china but you need to change the kind of visa you have. So move to a marriage visa or a student visa for 6 months then reapply for a Z visa.

    I know a few long-term expats (Beijing mainly) that came to 5 consecutive years in China on z visas. They just had to leave China for a 30 day period before the fifth year was up then re-enter on the same visa. Does anyone know if this is different province to province?
