He must have an approval letter and approved job, then he must apply for visa at an embassy.

Unfortunately all schools are closed, so applying as teacher is not something I believe is possible.

You can request a 1, 3 or 6 month EG visa extension, price goes up for longer ones. You can definitely leave for a few days and come back and get another one, but I don’t know how many times you can do it. I know many people have been successful doing it 2 or 3 times, but I haven’t heard of anyone doing it more than that. Freelancers can get a work permit and EB visa, although they sometimes have to register themselves as a business. It’s not too complicated.

My question is about EG visa extensions. You say EG visas can last 1, 3, or 6 months. Is that totally random or can we choose six months and just pay more? And if so, could we do “visa”runs? For example could we get an ordinary visa on arrival, upgrade it to a 6 month EG visa after a month, then go to Thailand for a few days after our 6 months is up and return Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ to repeat the process? My wife and I are freelancers but there seems to be a great deal of uncertainty as far as people like us obtaining an EB visa.

Sorry to trouble you but my wife and I are living in China at the moment and we don’t have a VPN. We can’t access facebook and getting good information on the subject is proving very difficult.
