Q: Opening a bank account in Beijing

How easy is it to open a bank account in China (Beijing specifically) and which documents are needed?
Is it preferable to have a Chinese speaking person with me when opening the aforementioned account?

Or can anyone recommend a bank in Beijing which specialises in foreign customers.

Go to a Big branch and sure there will be English speaking people. You need your passport and you prove of residence (in some cases).
Its easy and no red tape... good banks are Bank of China or ICBC

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
