[quote=LEMONCACTUS,253216]Sasha, I think you need to be careful and make sure that the school that you are going to is not messing you around. All the questions that you have asked above should have been answered and dealt with by the school that you are coming to teach for.... unless the school is trying to get around the official system and employ you without "officially" employing you. Perhaps this school has never employed a foreigner before or doesn't have the capacity to supply what you need (ie: the letter of invitation)- in which case, I would be wary about working for them. A good school will give you the invitation letter so that you can apply for the necessary visas etc. Of course you can come to China with a tourist visa - and it is absolutely true that the school can convert this for you - but make sure this is the case. Yes. As above, what Trace says is correct. It is possible to come to China on a tourist visa that is valid for 30 days. Within this time you can find a job and get the visa converted into a "residents" visa" that will allow you to live and work in China. You will usually have to have a medical test too (here in China). This is again an official way and varies from school to school, province to province. There is an unofficial way whereby the school employs you as a teacher on a tourist visa and helps you to renew the tourist visa.... I have heard of this situation. This allows the school to get out of paying certain fees etc to the PSB and other places. The fact is though, that this is not legal and if it is discovered there could be problems. Good luck.[/quote]
