Q: do I need a degree? I have QTLS and 13 years years teaching experience in Shanghai?

Return home in June 2017, thinking of returning to Shanghai but visa policy changed... I'm native speaker with both UK and Shanghai teaching experience and QTLS (Qualified Teaching Learning Skills) and lots of Higher National teaching and law diploma. Would I be able to apply for working visa?

It's China. Who knows, until you try. if you're resourceful,  can afford the risk/cost of rejection and it's important to you, go for it. Everything here is locked in stone...with Chinese characteristics.

Quote: "Return home in June 2017"

 

Word salad. What does that mean? You posted this question 18 hours ago. June 2017 is months ago.

 

The simple answer is yes. You can apply for a working visa. Anyone can. There is no law against applying

Shining_brow:

Well, technically....

 

We can apply for a Z visa, which lets us into the country to change to the RP... it's the school that actually applies for the work 'visa' - ie, "can we hire this person?"

 

So, I'm not really sure your last line (or even mine) is correct :p

I'm just wondering as my wife visa is a problem in the UK. Trying to figure aback up just in case as I have 2 children. I think should be ok as I have Qualified Teacher Learning Skills Qualification which is equivalent to Qualified Teacher Status in the UK and a level 6 Diploma which is equivalent to a degree.

Hotwater:

You're right, level 6 is bachelors degree level...the problem is whether the Chinese work permit authorities recognize / understand that.

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
