HI THERE !

I HAVE BEEN TEACHING AT 2 DIFFERENT COLLEGES IN JIANGSU FOR THREE YEARS.( PUBLIC COLLEGES ) THE SCHOOLS FROM JIANGSU DON`T PROVIDE A Z-VISA. IN THIS PROVINCE, ANY L-VISA ( TOURIST VISA ) CAN BE STILL CONVERTED INTO A RESIDENCE PERMIT ( WORK- VISA )AT THE LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM LATER ON, IF YOU WANT TO WORK IN ANOTHER PROVINCE, WHERE THIS PROCESS IS NOT POSSIBLE ANYMORE ( JIANGXI, HUNAN,... ). THEN, YOU NEED TO GO TO HONG KONG TO GET THE LETTER " Z " IN YOUR PASSPORT.

IF I ARRIVE IN JIANGSU ON A TOURIST VISA AND I DON`T LIKE THE FOREIGNERS` FLATS, NOBODY WILL STOP ME TO LOOK FOR A BETTER PLACE IN THE SAME PROVINCE. IF YOU ARRIVE HERE ON A Z-VISA, YOU CAN`T DO THE SAME.
PLUS, I DON`T HAVE TO PAY FOR THE MEDICAL EXAM IN MY COUNTRY, IN ORDER TO GET THE Z-VISA AT THE CHINESE CONSULATE. THIS MEDICAL CHECK IS NOT VALID IN CHINA AFTER ALL.
