Z Visa Document Package
Z Visa Document Package
China's Z visa (work visa) requires a specific set of attested documents that must be presented together at the Chinese Embassy or Consulate. The requirements are precise, and missing or incorrectly attested documents result in visa application rejection. The package typically includes attested educational credentials, a criminal background check, a medical examination report, and employment-related documents.
Each document in the Z visa package follows its own authentication pathway before being submitted to the Chinese Embassy. Educational credentials need MOFA attestation, criminal background checks need police department and MOFA verification, and medical reports need specific formatting per Chinese health authority standards.
GreenAttest's Z Visa Document Package service coordinates all these parallel pathways into a single timeline. We ensure every document is prepared to Chinese consular standards, attested through the correct chain, and ready for submission as a complete package. This eliminates the risk of one missing document delaying your entire visa application.

- Original degree certificate with prior attestation stamps
- Criminal background check from country of residence
- Medical examination report in the format required by Chinese authorities
- Employment contract or offer letter from the Chinese employer

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Ask your Chinese employer for the work permit notification letter as early as possible. This document must be issued by the Chinese authorities before the embassy will accept your Z visa application, and it often takes 2-3 weeks to obtain.
- Complete your medical examination at a CIQ-approved center. Results from non-approved centers are rejected, and you will need to repeat the examination, wasting time and money.
- Ensure your passport has at least 12 months of validity and at least 2 blank pages. The Chinese Embassy rejects applications with insufficient passport validity or space.
- If you have previously worked in China, include all prior visa pages and work permit copies. Omitting this history can delay processing or trigger additional verification.
