Forums > Living in Kunming > Changing a L visa to a Z visa

Hi I am an Australian citizen coming to Kunming in May of 2012.
I am aware that visa laws change all the time and I'm wondering if anyone in kunming can help me with information about changing a L visa to a Z visa.

Originally I planned to come over on a z visa, however it has proven difficult to find English teaching positions in kunming.

I intend to come over on an L visa then find suitable employment while over there.

My question is, is it still possible to go to Hong Kong, and change my visa to a Z visa? or do I have to return to my country of origin?

Any advice would be much appreciated.
