Work in China: How to GET a Z VISA (Work Visa) | How to Get A Job in C...

So, you're looking to move to China and work - well, you'll need a Z visa to do that. I've got a little guide for you on how the Z visa works and what you'll need for it.

In April 2017, a number of provincial visa office briefings have been held throughout China and there have been some changes in the requirements for the Z Visa/ Foreign Expert Permit to Teach in China. 

The new requirements (in most provinces) for teachers and workers to secure a work ‘z’ visa from their employer or school are as follows:

* For teachers: a passport from a native English speaking country: UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa

* At least a Bachelor’s degree, notarized and translated into Chinese

* Police clearance, authenticated by the Chinese Embassy or Consulate.

---this authentication, in the USA, requires a few steps. 1. Get it notarized. 2. Get it sent to the Department of State for them to authenticate it (NOT apostille. That doesn't work in China). 3. Get that sent to the Chinese consulate/embassy in the USA. They'll authenticate it and legalize it for you. If you need help, ask these people: http://www.usauthentication.com/index...

* If the candidate is a licensed teacher in the mother country, no prior experience is required; two years’ experience otherwise

* If the candidate has a TEFL/TESOL certificate, no prior experience is required

* If the candidate majors in Education / English Language Teaching for their Bachelor’s degree, no work experience is required.

* A reference letter to evidence this experience is required

* A medical check before and after arrival

* Original degree. Not copies. Original.

* Photos of yourself and some photocopies of your passport info page

* Anything else your employer asks
