You can legally teach/work only with Work permit ---->Z visa ----->FEC and Residence permit.

maybe part-time is Okay. But the legal way is to get the working visa.

Blondie_:

you claim to be working for a visa company, yet your knowledge of visa legailties is questionable.

This is one area where it may actually be legitimately 'grey'.

 

There was a time when you were allowed to do up to 14 hours work per week, with permission from your university. This may or may not still apply in your region.

 

However, it is still safer to go with 'no'.

 

But... one way around this is to be an intern... and, technically, you're not employed (ie, compensated for work done other than experience).

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
