Try to line up a job before you move, that's what I did back in '03. A lot depends on what kind of job and lifestyle you're looking for. My first job in China was at a private language school in Hainan, with 16 teaching hours I spent more time biking to the beach, hanging out at swimming pools, drinking at bar streets, and dating Chinese girls than I did in the classroom. Look hard for a job now and see what happens. Flying in on an L is generally better as a last resort.

China has yet to jump onto the crimminal background check bandwagon, but you generally need a degree (BA/BS) and 1-2 years of experience on your CV to get a Z. I came to China after my rookie year of teaching in Hagwon Hell, via a long holiday in Thailand, and easily got my Z and FEC down in Hainan. With experience and a degree you should have no problem getting a good job with a proper Z in China.

I second the OP's question, can we go straight there or do we have to go back to our home country first?
