Hi,

I am a Singaporen graphic designer scouting for a design job in China and also to join my girlfriend who is already working there in China earlier. My query is that if I've managed to get hold of a job in China...which particular visa should i apply to depart from Singapore? What if the paperwork (my working visa) will only be settled by the company only once I'm there? So which suggested visa should I apply that best suits this situation.

Lastly, in a diff situation, if I visit my girlfriend as a tourist visa and while staying there I happen to land a job offer, can I i do a swap of visa from tourist visa to working visa? is this legal?

thank yo so much for the attention and help advise will clear my great worry away. Thanks!
