Really - don't do it.

If you have secured employment already, your employer should be sending you the documentation to obtain a Z visa, so that you enter China legally for the purpose of work. If they can't, they may not even have a license to employ foreigners.

There are people who have come here on an L visa, and have managed to get it extended, or converted when they have found employment.

And, there are people who have found themselves royally shafted in one or many ways because they only had an L visa.

Incidentally, what is your opinion of people who enter your home country illegally and then get themselves employed illegally?

Good employers do not expect their staff to work illegally.

ok, for a z you need a degree ,right! I have a tefl only and have been told this is the way its done. maybe its to give the school a chance to see if I am worth the trouble of an extension on visa, which I can understand. I am thankful for all the posts but its not matching with what on the net. could someone who has been through this procedure maybe pm me??. the glass is half full I always think.

Very Happy
