Hey all,

I am a U.S citizen currently living in the Philippines.

Recently I was thinking I might like to return to China, and work there again.

The problem, of course, is how to work legally?

I'm not in my home country atm, so I realize that getting the Z visa can be much more difficult that way.

That's why I ask.

If I am trying to get work legally in China without first returning to the U.S, what are peoples suggestions as to how to go about doing that?

Should I get the z-visa in HK?

Should I go to China on a tourist visa and them have them change it to a work permit?

Should I get a job before leaving the Philippines or find one when I arrive?

Mostly I ask this from a legality stand point, I have just shown up in China and found work there before, I know it's not that hard to do, but I want to be legal.

What do you guys suggest?

Be issued your letter of invitation stating to obtain your visa in the Philippines and not the U.S.
