Hi Guys

Looking for all your expertise here.

Any update info on visa to China from UK. Also how would I go about getting a visa for another country before moving on: eg UK citizen in SA looking to go to China, can I apply in SA or do I need to go back to the UK?

Flights, can I get onward flights paid and not have to be returned to the UK after my contract?

What is the usual method of payments? Cash, cheque, Direct debit?

What is the best banks? How can I transfer funds if I move country?

Also I do not have a BA and so wonder about the working visa programme in Japan as I would like to visit in the future, after a few years expereince elsewhere. How do I apply, again from the UK or from anywhere worldwide.

[b]I am new to this and will be looking for work when I finish my CELTA, which I am going to do part-time in UK as I wish to be able to taken seriously by all![/b]
I thank you all in advance.
I am looking to start FEB 2006 with my husband who is also doing the CELTA course.

simply go to the nearest Embassy or Consulate for the country you want to gain a visa for.

very unlikely. You may well get some form of cash bonus though but I wouldn't bank on it to pay for flights to anywhere very far away.

In Japan? Both cash and bank payment are common.

Best? No idea. Ask your home bank about this. Every bank in the world has very similar procedures.

You mean working holiday visa. You have to apply for it in your home country.

Lloyds works well for only 2000 yen/transfer here in Japan.
