[quote=APAULT,366865]First, you can get a tourist visa for more than 30 days, so that can giv you more time to look around for a job.  There are plenty of jobs for native English speakers to teach English (even the American version!).

Secondly, you do not have to return to the US to get your Z visa, this WAS a requirement during the Olympics period.  The latest regulations say that you can now apply for a Z visa from within China but I have not heard anyone having done that yet - though maybe that will change as we get closer to the new academic year.  Otherwise you can get your Z visa in Hong Kong as the previous psot stated.  The Z visa is valid for 30 days during which time you and your employer must apply for a Tempoiary Residence Permit, which is a visa by another name and cancels the Z visa, aiya!

Actually, I would recommend looking for a job prior to going to China (assuming you are thinking of teaching).  If you aply from within China it is best not to say you are already there as they will ask you to an interview and to present a lesson, no expenses paid (except perhaps providing accommodation for a night or two) regardless of how far you had tto travel.[/quote]
