Question

Hello.My wife and I are interested in travelling to China together and teaching English there for about 6 months, but possibly for 7 or 8 months, from August 2011. Is it best to apply for a 6 month visa and then, if we decide to try to stay longer, to apply locally for an extension visa, or should we apply for a longer visa at the start, just in case? If we want to work as English teachers in China do we need to get a special working visa?We both have UK passports but have lived in the republic of Ireland for 30 years. Can we apply for a visa from your embassy in Dublin? What documents would you require please? We don't have any special forms such as a work permit authorizing us to work here, as they are not required. On some of the forms I think I read that we must buy return flights before we can obtain our visas. How would this work if we wish to return by train via Moscow? Can we buy a single flight to get to China and then later buy our train ticket in China for the return journey?Thank you

if you want to work in China for 6 months, you should apply for work visa to China, however, you don't have the Alien Work Permit issued by the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs, so you can't obtain a work visa. You can try to apply for a single entry Business Visa with 180 days stay duration, however, the original version of invitation letter or fax from an authorized Chinese Government Department, such as Foreign Affairs Office, is required. The school in China has to get this kind of invitation letter from local Foreign Affairs Office, then send it and the invitation letter stamped by the school to youThe two-way flight details is required for business visa application. You can try to submit one way flight ticket. the final decision is up to visa officer. Once you get a Business Visa to China, you can apply for visa extension one week before its expiry date at the local Exit-Entry Administrative Bureau if you want to stay longer in China.
