    There is a stipulation at ET job requirements in China that applicant must have 2-years of working experience beside native English passport and BA degree.

    Can you come to China for sightseeing and walk the doors of employers? No, you can't, because you have to secure an Entry visa first and without an employer, it's almost impossible to fulfil that task .

    Beside that, you could maybe provide a better solution ... on top of bashing the website and stating the matters, which are impossible to prove.

    My friends who are managing schools still can't recruit from outside of China because of the borders being closed, as far as I know that doesn't look like it's going to change anytime soon. If you have a current existing residence permit etc you can re-enter the country, going through the usual quarantine process obviously but no new visas are being issued.

    I mainly got new (English teaching) jobs in China from here. I also used several good job recruiters and I got new offers that way, too.

    The other (ET) jobs website is Dave's ESL Cafe, and if you'll Yahoo-gle "ESL job vacancies in China", you'll find more websites advertising ET job openings in China. You can replace 'ESL' with any job you're looking for ...

    Dont know where they got those answers from, you DO need two shot Chinese vaccine done at least 15 days prior to travel, but, you wont be entering anyway as ESL teachers are not considered essential workers. I have been here 17 years, double vaccinated 5 moonths ago, coulfnt even get an ETD to go home and bury my mother and was firmly told i would be denied entry, as if i am leaving my wife a...

    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.

    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...

  • Jul 22,2021

    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 ...

    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.

    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.
