[quote=GUEST23969,482850]If you peruse the various threads in this forum you will realise that it is not easy for a foreigner to work legally in China. Chinese workers are protected which means foreigners must be able to provide a skill which Chinese workers cannot. These are very few and far between. Teaching your native language is one such skill, particularly English. However, whilst in the past finding teaching jobs was quite easy, now the rules are being tightened and employers more selective due to the poor quality of staff being employed. The higher status and better location the employer has, the higher will be their requirements (and pay). To get a good job you need the following; Bachelors (Masters) Degree (any subject) TEFL or equivalent teaching qualification. 2 years teaching experience Age under 60 (55) Lower qualification might be accepted by lower status organisations (lower pay) or those in less desirable locations. Any organisations employing foreigners must be registered with the government to do so. Only they can provide the means to obtain a Z visa. This is the ONLY visa you can legally work on. It has a 30 day duration and must be replaced with work and residency permits. If you are offered a job and asked to travel with an L or F visa be very wary. The Z visa can only be obtained outside of China. Some people will risk working on these visas but if caught they will be fined and deported (probably with a ban on returning) [/quote]
