You need to either go to the Chinese embassy in the U.S to apply for a tourist visa or you can find an agency that will mail your passport and application form to the embassy (they will email the passport with the visa inside back to you).

I believe you can get a 30, 60 or 90 day visa. I'm not sure on the exact number of days.

Good luck!

Here is the information from the Chinese embassy in the United States for your Tourist Visa:

http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/hzqz/zgqz/t84246.htm

Follow the process exactly, because any deviation will result in having your application denied, and no explanation as to why. Of particular interest to you will be part 2, where you can submit your application (in person or through an agency), depending on state of residence.

I had my initial tourist (and then work) visas processed through this agency in California. Very helpful and professional. Here's the URL:

Good fortune with the process. If you want to know more about Changsha, PM me. I've lived here for a while.

I'm not sure about from USA, but from Canada you can only get a 30 day tourist visa first time. It may be extended while in China.

Q: Eastern European with US college degree working in China?

A: Easter is a common egg-coloring, religious holiday in Western countrie

A:Easter is a common egg-coloring, religious holiday in Western countries ... Here, we all stream upon improvin pesters' written English syntax. Most Chinese are unable to judge yer English. They just look at applicant's passport and if it was issued by the one of the 5 (or 6) native English countries, your English must be good, too. Yes, by the current Labour law provision, you qualify for an English teaching job in China despite you hold a non-native English passport.However, most recruiters and language schools aren't aware of that, so you most likely won't get too many replies at your job applications, but ... Never mind! Don't stop sending your CV until you land the invitation for an interview. You might want to stick the sentence about your eligibility for a legal English teaching job in China into the Intro letter or anywhere in your CV.As soon as you'll land an invitation for the interview, make sure you'll mention that provision to the interviewer, first!
Good luck! -- icnif77
