Hi!
I am currently in New Zealand on vacation (tourist visa) and have a job offer in China. I would like to know if it's possible to apply for a chinese work visa outside of your home country or does anyone have experience with such a situation?

When I called the Chinese Consulate in Auckland,NZ they said no but when I called the Chinese Embassy in Wellington, NZ the guy said yes as long as the letter of employment was addressed to the correct embassy/consulate it shouldn't be an issue. As a result I'm not sure what to believe.

Any info or advice you can give will be much appreciated

Thanks,
