Question

I am scheduled to be in China on May 17th.  I need to apply for a visa . I just got my passport.I am suppose to go there to teach english for 3 months and come back in September.Do I need to do a z-visa or a l-visa and would they allow me to get a tourist visa for 3 months.I don't have time for it to get denied.   I was told that if I don't have the bachelor degree (i have my associates degree right now) they might deny the z-visa.   Whats the best way at this point?I have no criminal record or anything so no worries there.  Please help !

You can apply for Z visa if you have the below two documents which obtained by your employer: 1. A visa notification issued by the authorized Chinese unit.2. An originial and a photocopy of the Work Permit for Aliens issued by the Chinese Labor Ministry or the original of Foreign Expert's License issued by the Chinese Foreign Expert Bureau. otherwise, you can't apply for Z visa, you can apply for L visa, you can demand 90 days stay duration on the visa application form. In principal, L visa holders are not allowed to work in China, however, police won't check it in most situations.

To get a China work visa, it is quite complicated and time-consuming. Please refer to the following link for more details http://us.china-embassy.org/eng/hzqz/zgqz/t84245.htm  Since you will be in China for only 3 months, you can try to apply for a visa with longer duration. You'd better get an F visa, instead of an L visa.
