Q: Does a Chinese realtor need a license?

Does a Chinese realtor need a license in order to work legally in this business?
I know back home they need...

And if yes, I was just wondering if a foreigner can get that too?!

The actual realtors do not need a license. They get their training from the company they work for.

However, the actual companies need a special license to sell/rent real estate. It is very hard to get and very expensive.

A foreigner can work for any of the real estate companies, but the ones that I know of develop relationships with several real estate companies and then work on a freelance basis for a partial commission (and whatever they can get out of the foreigner who uses them).

Most of the agents who have an educational back ground in real estate will have a license but to be honest they can work of the companies license. I know a few expats who do real estate but the commission is terrible

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
