Great info. Thanks everyone! Obviously I'd feel a bit more settled to have this all wrapped up before arriving, especially since I'm in NYC and can easily go to the Chinese embassy/consulate here. I am true to my New York nature in that I can spot a scam a mile away, but online it seems impossible to sort through these things when every good post has an equal and opposite bad one. (regarding recruiters, schools) I will teach initially. (degree + TEFL Cert) but my end game is to explore the wine markets in China. I'm a sommelier (wine expert) and am interested in pursuing something along those lines.

I'd like to know if I have the option of moving to Kunming on a tourist visa, look for a job, then change to a work visa? Can this be taken care of in China? Hong Kong? Or is it a must to have a work visa prior to arrival?

Thanks!
