外国人申请中国工作签证：短期工签的优劣势
常见短期工作签证范围，指外国人入境完成短期工作任务，因下列事由入境，且在境内停留不超过 90 日的：
1、到境内合作方完成某项技术、科研、管理、指导等工作；
2、到境内体育机构进行试训（包括教练员、运动员）；
3、拍摄影片（包括广告片、纪录片）；
4、时装表演（包括车模、拍摄平面广告等）。
短期工签有异于长期工签，不仅仅是因为适用范围的不同，而且也短期工签也有属于自己的优缺点，中创侨智在此汇总如下：
短期工签的优势：
1、申请时间快，大约10个工作日即可完成；
2、所需材料简单，如模特类短期工作的，申请人仅需准备护照信息材料和健康证明；
3、和长期工签相同属于合法就业，受劳动法保护；
4、允许在多个用人单位工作，但需申请时列明全部工作城市名称（不超过5个）。
短期工签的劣势：
1、最长有效时间为90天，且不能延期；
2、有适用范围限制，并非任何工作都能申请短期工签，对于超适用范围的工作，应申请长期工签，按照长期工签的申请要求办理，且短期工签意义不等同于商务M签或访问F签；
3、持Z字签证，停留期不超过30日的，不办理工作类居留证件，停留期超过30日的（含30日），需办理工作类居留证件。
Foreigners applying for Chinese work Visa: Advantages and Disadvantages of short-term work visa
The scope of common short-term work visa refers to a foreigner who enters China to complete a short-term work assignment and stays in China for no more than 90 days for the following reasons:
1. Complete a certain technical, scientific research, management, guidance and other work with the domestic partner;
2. Conduct trial training in domestic sports institutions (including coaches and athletes);
3. Shooting films (including commercials and documentaries);
4. Fashion shows (including car models and print ads).
Short-term work visa is different from long-term work visa, not only because of the different scope of application, but also has its own advantages and disadvantages, chuangqiaozhi summarized as follows:
Advantages of short-term work:
1. Fast application time, about 10 working days to complete;
2, the required materials are simple, such as model short-term work, the applicant only need to prepare passport information and health certificate;
3. It belongs to legal employment and is protected by labor law;
4. It is allowed to work in more than one employer, but the name of all working cities (no more than 5) should be listed when applying.
Disadvantages of short-term work:
1. The maximum validity period is 90 days and cannot be extended;
2. Limited scope of application, not all jobs can apply for short-term work visa. For jobs beyond the applicable scope, long-term work visa should be applied according to the application requirements of long-term work visa, and the significance of short-term work visa is not the same as business M visa or visiting F visa;
3. A z-visa holder with a stay of less than 30 days is not required to apply for a work-type residence permit. A z-visa holder with a stay of more than 30 days (including 30 days) is required to apply for a work-type residence permit.
