Q: Overstay!! Can You help me?

Hi everybody. I overstayed my visa one day (actually few hours!). I crossed the border in Shenzhen to go to Hong Kong. They stopped me. I explained why i overstayed (cos i got some problems with the train), I also showed them the train ticket. But after 1 hour they let me go without saying anything. Now I'm still in Hong Kong and I just would like to know...if I go back to my country (Italy) n I will apply for visa to come back, they could reject it?! There will be any problem? Please help me!

If they did not give you a monetary fine, or asked you to sign any papers, you should have no worries.  I was late myself 23 minutes about 3 or 4 years ago and got two visas afterwards without a hitch

Just give them a Moon Cake with about 1000 rmb in it.  Everything will always be ok in China if you do this.

Only a problem if they give you a sticker/stamp in your passport that you overstayed. 

Yauster:

I am kinda of curious what does it look of the overstay stamp and stickers in their passports?

It doesn't really matter how entry ban stamp looks like, IMO.

One shouldn't have it, so entry to the country is still possible.

 

I'd say, changing of the passport might help, but you never know 'cause all records are accessible online .. these days.

Changing passport doesn't do anything.

I don't have such an experience, but I thought new passport might do. However, since all is documented and accessible for border control agents online, you're probably right  @spider.

That's almost 8-years old Q/thread ..

American passport number does change on the new one but they would still have the rest of your info, dob, name, etc.

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
