Some teachers reflected to us that they experienced problems processing the China visa locally. If that is the case, it is far easier to land in Hong Kong as passport holders of U.S.A., Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are not required to obtain a visa for entry to Hong Kong. Processing a China visa in Hong Kong is expedient and simple. In any case, you can have our full assistance if you are using our professional placement service.
