Q: With an expiring passport and visa what is best the course of action?

The situation is that someone has a couple weeks until passport and Z visa/residence permit expiration. If the earliest possible day to get into the embassy for passport renewal is a little over a week from the passport expiration date and with Z visa/residence permit possibly taking over a week to complete, what is the best course of action? From what I gathered online, it seems to take around 7-10 days for a new passport to be processed/issued and I believe it's about the same for Z-visa+reisdent permit.

 

I assume by leaving the country and waiting until rearrival to renew the Z visa/residence permit, it would require a full re-application and medical exam?

Call your embassy, see if you can courier the passport to them and pay to have the passport rewewed faster.

 

You can't get a new visa without the passport having at least 6 months ( I think, maybe more) before it expires.

Contact your Embassy in China and seek an advice, because length of processing for new passport varies from country to country. 

Your Embassy might give you fast service and then you should save old book with valid Z and show it to the authorities together with new, valid passport.

 

You'll most likely have to re-apply for new Z in Chinese Embassy abroad (out of China), so start bothering your employer for new Invitation letter and other docs. (Working permit) necessary to get Z visa.

May need to get a temporary passport, while you await the new passport.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
