Currently in China and working for IT company but I can't transfer my current visa to the school cuz the alien employment pernit can't be used or transfer to schools. so we were told to apply new Z visa. The school had started and got the "Work Permit" for foreign experts . This paper was issued in March 2nd.  Now that there is a new policy I don't know if we apply the Z visa at home we can get.

Wait a second, he's an IT trying to become a teacher or an IT going to a new IT job that's not teaching related?? If he's not gonna be a teacher than the non native thing doesn't apply to him, he'll be fine.

Tianruidian:

a teacher who  has been teaching in China 3 years with FEC but moved to IT company for 8 months and wanna start the visa application to teach again. He has got the working permit so he will go home for it

Tianruidian:

We are starting the new process for Z visa. Now the SAFEA has issued him the  " Work Permit" for foreign experts.  This Paper was issued in March. He hasn't applied the Z visa yet. Hopefully he will go home to apply in April or May.  The question is , There has been a new policy starting this April concerning teaching in China if not native English. So Can he get the Z visa if he apply under the new Policy cuz he got his work permit issue in March which that time the New policy wasn't taking place in his city. actually it's not a big . It's  a town in Zhejiang province

Tianruidian:

He has been teaching in the school for three years and just left last summer to take a post in IT company but the school wants him to come back and have got him the work permit for foreign experts  to go back home to apply new visa . He  has a valid residence permit but he wants to start all the Z visa process again for the school.  The school has provided him all the needed documents.

Tianruidian:

Actually he has been working in the school for 3 years and lust left there last summer to join IT company but this time the school wants him back  and the school wants him to get new Z visa . Luckily the school applied the work permit for foreign experts  and they got it for  him  on March 5th. the school has provided him all the needed documents for the visa back home and the Expert office told him he doesn't need invitation letter so he can use the work permit to get the Z visa. Actually he is having Valid working visa and residence permit but he wants to start new Z visa with the school cuz he canceled his FEC when he join the IT company. That's why he wanna be sure of he will get the Z visa before he lives his current job now.

Getting the Z visa won't be a problem as he has the invite letter, the chellange will be when they go to the FEC office, now two things could happen, 1. The FEC office in that city could ignore the new law because it's still too new, and give him an FEC booklet that's good for 7 years. Or 2. They force him to apply for the new visa and he might fail or the school has a contact that helps him out.

Tianruidian:

Hmm the Expert bureau were aware that, there is going to be a new visa policy in April but still they issued the " work Permit" for him few days ago ( March 5th)  . Basically he is going to teach British curriculum and  and was teaching that for the last 3 years in the school. He is great even if you didn't check his passport, you might think he is an American. He was the one doing Middle school's oral test recordings for the whole county

Not possible!

Simple fact about all countries is that there is NEVER a 100% certainty.
