Booking an appointment online.
I have completed my online application and have been trying to book an appointment, but get a message that says "the maximum number of people making an appointment at one time is 0. Please make a change." What do I need to do to resolve this issue?
Thanks

I haven't entered a date. The first page only allows me to enter my name, phone number, email, and Application Number. I have not had the opportunity to enter a date yet.

Thomas, I don't think it is possible because China seldom issues student visas at present as far as I know.

Visa photos
I have been trying to apply for a visa using the online website and am having problems with my photo. I have tried several different photos from UniChem near the Thorndon centre. They use a white background and advised they are the recommended place for Chinese visa photos.
I'm not sure what to do now. Can you please advise how I can overcome this problem?
Thank you.

S1 visa Substitute Teacher
Hi,
I read that the International Beijing School in Shunyi,Beijing are able to employ substitute teachers only if the individuals have an S1 visa. They have widely advertised this (Glassdoor, their website etc.). Is this legal? Or, have you heard of international schools being allowed to do this?
In addition, do you know if an S visa can be changed to a Z visa while in Beijing?
I was advised with a S visa to change it to a X visa you have to leave China.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nic, as far as I know, this is illegal. One should have a Z visa in order to work in China. I assume that the school may help these teachers to chage the S visa to Z visa without leaving China after they accept the job offer.

Yes, it's possible. You can ask her to write you an invitation letter and show it to the China embassy.
