| Pretty sure Guangdong province does not allow the HK visa route and requires teachers to apply for Z visas in their home country. Unless something has changed recently. |

However, recent info on the ready availability of a conversion to (or straight out getting) a Z in Hong Kong, seems to lighten the risk some.
Unless others have better ideas you could fly to Guangzhou and once you have a job sussed, take the train to Hong Kong (abt 3 hours from memory) and come back.
A lot cheaper than going home and returning.. |
What recent info? |
There's a thread running that gives positive info about it.
I'll have a look and get back to you if I can find it. |
Here's the thread.

In one of my posts I queried if the HK Z deal was restricted to certain provinces.
bestteacher2012 indicates the Guangdong is a no no.
Can someone indicate which provinces can get Z visas in HK. |

FWIW, my good friend teaches in GZ and said the same. He was careful to add that things may be different in other provinces. Also said the "two year rule" was enforced in GZ, but also added no one checks resumes, either (????). Of course that left me baffled, then I said to myself, TIC. |

Well there are loads of provinces within pretty easy distance of Hong Kong.
Good to have a list of provinces that the HK office will process Z visas for.
Anyone? |

| Jiangsu will let you do the HK 'z' visa run. (At least true for my college in one city in Jiangsu, but the work permit is processed in Nanjing, so probably true for the whole province). |
