Z visa

Post new topic

Hello everyone,

I have a general question about working in China.
I am from Finland but I would like to work in China. If I arrive in China on a tourist visa and then find a job as a teacher, can I then change to a Z visa?

Many thanks for any information you can provide.

Best wishes!

Manlin

Yes but ... you will have to leave and re-enter

If that's your plan organise all your documents in advance for example Degree (will need the original), Non-Criminal Check etc
