| Post subject: HELP! |
I am coming to Shanghai on the 29th of April and here in Italy they are driving me crazy for the F Visa.
My future employer in China is very helpfull and is writing an invitation letter for me to get the visa. Problem is my son , italian with his own passort, 2 years old, will need some sort of visa as well. The consulate here suggested the employer writes about my son as well in the letter which seems a bit odd...i asked anyway but it all seem a bit crazy and i do not want to bother the employer too much...
Also ,Is really all I need the letter from employer to get a F visa or will i need some other documents from Shanghai?
Help Please... |

I think put you son's name into the reference letter is better. |

Getting an F Visa for your son should be virtually automatic. However getting documentation to support your application could not hurt.
I dont know if this is helpful information but I came here on a tourist Visa. Once I got here my husbands company employed SantaFe Relocation Services to take care of getting me a Z Visa so I could stay here with my husband. They were so professional and efficient. We never had to be bothered by all the paperwork involved.
Good luck  |

HI, I'm Indonesian and married to an Italian, and live in Shanghai. We have a 18 months old daugther. She's holding an Italian passport too.
But she was born in Shanghai.
As Donna said, It's possible if you come in China with a tourist visa and let your company or relocation service do the rest here in Shanghai,must be easier for you. I understand that to make any paper work in Italy can be confusing and dissapointing.
When we were in Italy last year, My daugther visa (type Z folowing the father but only single entry) was expired, we got to this agent to do Visa in Italy. We were in Torino.
Or also you can do the F Visa in Italy for your son.
If you already arrive in Shanghai let us know. We also want to find a preschool for our daugther and our main languange at home is Italian , english and chinese.
Maybe we can do a Italian baby playgroup.? |
