Q: Did anyone with An F visa ever applied for a job and got rejected?

Some agency told me that teachers working in guangzhou are being inspected and we all have to apply for a work permit if we are ever to work for a company which is registered? Is it true or was she telling me that to politely refuse me the job???

When I worked at Overload Wall Street English (Overload is my added nickname for them.) Yes they always rejected F visa teachers.

So yes, she is telling you the truth, you shouldn't work on an F visa. They are(PSB) making the rounds, we were checked on last Monday.

Some schools like Wall Street English and DIsney English won't accept you if you don't have one. That isn't true for all schools just certain one's...

F visa is not issued for taking jobs in China.  as far as I know, some English-teaching schools often employ foreigners with F visa. It is illegal,  once got found by the immigration bureau, both the school and you will have troubles.  

If you get employed by a company or school, you should follow the procedure to apply Z visa and China residence. You can inquire more by skype: joe.dada5

generally speaking, a foreigner must work with working visa...

but in fact sometimes......

 

thus, the immigration will check randomly...

It still is pretty common to work on an F-visa in China. At the beginning people have no other choice, getting a work visa takes up to four months. It is such a horribly organized system with the work visas that in the end people and companies have no other choice then bend the rules if they want to function in this country.

Lets all hope one day the authorities come up with a transparent, efficient and quick system to apply for work visas so the people who are entitled to one can get it.

That will take some time though I assume....so for the moment you should be fine.

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
