good day! can i obtain z visa when on a tourist l type?

Question

I am planning to go to Shanghai on a tourist L type for 3 months to look for a teaching position in person, visit the schools etc.  I am concerned that I perhaps can't obtain a Z type and the other permits etc to teach and work in PRC when in Shanghai on a tourist L type.  Will I need to fly back to my home country first before I can obtain my Z type? Or can I do the process of the Z type all while staying in Shanghai without exit?  Thank you!

Hi, Lenge, yeah, it’s possible for you to obtain Z type without leaving PRC. You can possibly change L type to Z type. But you should find a school to employ you first.
