Q: Do you have to leave mainland China to change from an F visa to an X visa?

I'm currently in Shenzhen on an F visa. I'm about to apply for an X visa. Do I have to return to my home country (Canada) to apply? What about to make it valid after I've applied?

Yeah, leaving the country was mandatory. However, with the new visa rules that came into effect on Sep 1, I'm not sure what the deal is now. You're best bet is to find a visa agency to answer those questions for you.

I changed from a Z to an L, then from the L to an X. I didn't have to leave the mainland, but this was a little before September 1st.
I was told I couldn't change from a Z to an X. I had to change to an L first.
Let us know how it goes!

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
