    if you are asking these questions....

    1) you clearly have not done your research 

    2) why did you not ask your employer?
    3) maybe you are not ready to move to China (these things will be the least of your worries in China)

    Lack of foreign teachers or foreigners overall in China can be attributed to Cofid pandemic, which still hasn't end ... Chinese borders are literary closed ... 

    It is also about politics around the world, which is centred toward slowing of the economic growth of China and other territorial disputes .. SCS mostly.

    Chinese gov. pressure on Education sector will not work, IMO...

    You must exit China and apply for Z at the Chinese Embassy in your native country.

     

    Now, if you will talk to the potential employer/sponsor of Z visa, they will certainly guide you through the right procedure.

     

    Z visa sponsor must apply for your Working permit and employer must state at the application,...

    You can work only if you hold a work permit and residence permit yourself. The same conditions for all foreigners apply. You have a job and the company can legally employ foreigners. Work permit is tied to that company and location that you are actually working and the position matches. You can't just work in China if you hold a dependence visa or residence permit.

    Yes and no. There are plenty of people who get teaching jobs in China with no degree. However they're probably not legally allowed to be teaching. Supply and demand.  Schools who are hard up for a teacher will hire whomever they can get their hands on. Schools get busted regularly for hiring unqualified teachers. Years ago I met a guy in his  fifties who bragged to me how he got a...

    "As one would expect with any regulatory overhaul of China, there was a distinct nationalist flavor to the new rules: among other things, they also ban the teaching of foreign curriculums, tighten scrutiny over the import of textbooks and forbid the hiring of foreign teachers outside of China -- a curb that could have severe consequences for startups like VIPKid that specialize in overseas...

    My advice? Keep in your lane. If you know teachers who are working illegally, it would be them that suffer should you report the school. Wouldn't it be better to have a quiet word wqith the teachers, find out there situation, and help them out? 

    There are many reasons people find themselves working illegally. Some intentional, some not. The non-intentional ones have been tricked...

    Highly unlikely I'd say. Pre-pandemic you usually needed to go back home and reapply, I doubt much has changed, except that you'd have a hard time getting back into China if you left because the borders are mostly closed now.

     

    If someone is offering you a job and telling you to come in on the M visa and they'll change it when you arrive, you don't want  that job.

  • Jul 14,2021

    Things could have changed during the two years I've been away from China, but generally Z visas are only 30 days in length.  Once you arrive at your school, they should get you a worker's permit and a residence permit.  The residence permit is usually a year in length or at least the length of your contract (or longer in some circumstances).  It allows you to work only at that...

    To teach beyond the age of 60 there are two mechanisms which are possible.  The first is to work at a university or college  ... these institutions usually allow past age 60 teaching.  The other mechanism is regionally-based ... there are some cities/regions which have no upper age limits, so do a little research yourself on where you'd like to go.  And talk to agents or...

  • Jul 13,2021

    No, you cannot change your mind (unless force majeure or similar ..) because you signed a contract with your WP sponsor, and with signed contract they applied for your WP.

    Signed and stamped contract is a requirement for WP application.

     

    That signature of yours is binding and you aren't advised to renegade on that unless you are very ill and ...

    You'll need...

    Best advice IMO you could get at Foreign Expert Bureau.

    This is an old (pre-2017) name of Chinese org., which approved Working permit, so I'd say find out which is that org. and ask them for an advice.

    Your employer knows the name and address of that org. because they had to apply for your Working permit there.

     

    I'd say, you can stay in China until your...

  • Jul 07,2021

    People always say that but I've seen lots of VPN questions over the years where people named the one I was using, along with the other popular ones and as far as I know they're all still working ok.

     

    It does piss people off though but it's like when your girlfriend farts in the car, it's obvious it's there but you both look straight ahead at the road and try to pretend it...

    Accomodation costs/allowance is in addition to salary.
    You should not expect to have to find this on your own.
    if your contract does not specify either that accomdation is be provided or you get an accomodation allowance (with assistance in finding same) avoid the place.

    you can live well and save money while working in China - I did.

    despite what you hear, you do not...

    I guess the answer may differ depending on the cultural background. For Americans, a simply "hi" would suffice. While Chinese and American 'dating' cultures do differ, American guys may be less inclined to approach a girl because of the langauge or cultural differences. We are also told that Americans are not a Chinese girls first choice (perhaps more of a necessity, especially if a Chinese...

  • Jun 30,2021

    I charge 100/hr. The reason so low? I love the Chinese people and desire for them to learn English. If I charge too much, it only invites those who can afford it. Besides, though I charge less than most others, the time I spend with them per week is usually more than most others. I gear my lessons to 1.5 hours + .5 or more hours "practical" learning (we go out to eat or shopping). They get...

    There's a SAFEA's weblink posted at some thread here. Enter 'SAFEA' in search and you'll find it.

     

    However, SAFEA was disbanded as the last novelty of Labor law came out in 2017.

     

    I ain't sure, which org. replace it, but it must be the same as the one which approves one's Working permit.

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
