Q: Can a teacher older than 65 get a work permit under special circumstances

I have 4 years experience teaching English, VCE Accounting and Business in China plus 4 years in Australia teaching Economics and Business. I would like to get another job in China but schools cannot get a work permit for me. Is there any way this problem can be solved?

The work permit is denied because once you are 65 years of age, you can not be enrolled in the school health insurance.  And with no health insurance, no work.

 

I do know of a way around it, but two things will need to happen :

 

1.- The school will have to need or want you real bad, and be willing to do a bit more work in securing the work permit with the right "guangxi".

2.- You will have to get yourself some private health insurance with an overseas insurance agency that will pay claims in China.  It will be expensive, and you will have to pay for it.

 

I do know an 83 years old Ex-Pat teaching at a local university a class on movies and TV productions, and this is how he got his work permit.

Hi Ron, sorry buddy, no can do. There has been some cases in the past where Expats were allowed to work until about 68 if they were in administration or boss positions but unfortunately these days we are seeing the Chinese government up hold their local laws. We lost two really experienced legal professionals this year. For two years, it was never a problem but this year has been somewhat different story

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
