I have an 18 month contract, so I guess a 2 year contract wouldn't be odd. However, I'll be careful with the salary bit because employers may use this to freeze your pay for 2 years.
louischuahm:
One other thing, your RP is only for one year so you will have to renew your RP in between.
cooter:
Yeah, if you're going to sign a multi-year contract, you should have some stipulation about annual salary increases. Something along the lines of cost-of-living index increase + 2%, or if you're feeling froggy, perhaps a performance based salary increase. Definitely don't let it go stagnant for the duration of the contract!
Spiderboenz:
Two year salary freeze would be terrible. There would be performance based raises. Thanks for the info!
Some international schools have 2 year contracts. Other than that I don't know.
I signed a 5 year contract, coming up on the end of the 4th year here in a few months. Of course I still have to renew the residence permit annually, and I also have to sign some Chinese document every year. Who knows what's happening, as long as they keep paying me 
As long as the school or company is worth or has over Y2 million RMB then 2 to 5 year resident permits can be granted.
How do I know? I've already asked the PSB... I'm always trying to secure a longer way to stay with my family here.
Spiderboenz:
I thought as much, thanks. No family for me, it seems. It's proving difficult to meet women here (of substance) who are interested in me for anything other than sex (but if this were 10 years ago I would have lived tbat) I onow, they do it backwards here, and sex is supposed to secure arelationship, bit I am NOT going to have a relationship/marry/family with someone who sleeps with me the second time tbat I meet them. *disclaimer: BCD, then an evening of drinking*
mike695ca:
Did you get information about how to apply for that? I have a new visa coming up and that sounds pretty great
ironman510:
Yeah man, you need to have your company create a 5 year contract, must be in Chinese, and they'll need to provide some type of financial certificate proving that they have enough funds to support themselves your employment that long, believe it or not it kind of works like the Q visa. The company just needs to prove it can last long by showing the money. Just like the a Chinese wife showing she has the money to support her husband on a Q visa.
Depends on the industry!
Schools, less likely (unless bigger, richer, international reputation type stuff)
Other jobs (engineers, managers, etc) pretty normal!
Most definitely. I Just finished a two year contract at my school. The local PSB only gave me a residence visa year by year. But the FEB in the county seat gave me a two permit to work for the school.
