Getting Work Visa for China with Bachelor's Degree

Hello jherron1.

Welcome to Expat.com

I would invite you to read this article Work visas in China. It may help you to find some informations on the working visas in China.

Thanks and best of luck

Your work visa depends entirely on your job.

Hello Hailey,

I would be teaching English and Spanish as a Foreign Expert. In many countries, a degree that is nationally accredited isn't valid. Thanks in advance for any input.

regards,

there is nothing like working permit in China, if u are able to get working Visa, Z-Visa, then U can work if only U can find job,

I'm entirely aware. Please, let me know if you know if a nationally accredited, U.S. Bachelor's Degree is accepted to be qualified for the Z-Visa?

If u hold American passport, cartificate is not very important, bcos Chinese just need native speaker, but if not u may have to come to China to look for job first and the employer can now prepare working document for u and u take it back to ur country to apply for Z-Visa

My question is whether my nationally accredited degree will work? My BA is not regionally accredited in the US; only nationally. Please, if anyone has had experience with the visa process please do share!

For the best way is you apply the job via online. Ask them to send you invitation letter. This will be cut down a lot of time to flight back apply your visa next time.

Stop complicating ur issue, I have told u that cartificate is not very important for teaching job here in china, as long as u can speak good english and know how to teach, where u get ur cartificate from is not matter. even if u hold Havard universtity cartificate if ur accent is not clear and u dont no how to teach, chinese will not accept u.
so forget abot cartificate issue

When you say. you're a visa specialist,  you probably mean you're an agent for an agency. The only Visa specialists are the Immigration Officials who approves or rejects any visa application.

That's right,so what?

Wonderful... email me Berry and we can talk.

As for Vikings... thx... but I'll decide on my own who to trust and who not to in this world.

Kayode, your info is somehow incomplete. Your employer need to apply and secure a working permit before they can apply for your work visa which is the Z Visa. Only with the Z visa can you apply for a residence permit from the PSB.

I don't know how the word trust came into the topic.
We're discussing the issue of getting a visa here in China.
As for your case, I have met and known Australians and Canadians married to Chinese nationals for decades and yet they have to apply for visa extension yearly.
In some cases, few are able to get 3 or 5 year work visa and residence permit. I got mine (5 year) on my 3rd renewal. And that was because we were sponsored by our company.

Perhaps trust was a poor choice of word to use. Instead I should have simple said I'll decide on my own irregardless of replies submitted by members.

May I clarify that I am not married to a Chinese national.

The company I am currently employed by has difficulty getting work visas for their foreign staff because of the previous owners errors. Most of the staff has their work visas but others are stuck in the system or were blocked and they wait at home wondering.

I am therefor interested in speaking with any visa consultant or company.

Maybe Berry can help. Who knows? But if I don't give it a try I'll never know. That applies to all companies and individuals who deal with visas.

For my advise you can look for the local agent from the place you living. Like us even we are agent we only can provide the real service in our city. We do not have any connection in your local PSB. I saw you are from SZ. So better you try to look for the SZ agent to help you on this.

Hope this will be helped.

Yes Thank you.

I wish you  good tidings Kris. Perhaps Berry is a good option for you based on her messages sent to my inbox. She does know what she is doing. You definitely need someone who knows how to navigate the visa section of the Immigration Bureau. Sometimes, those officers are more comfortable speaking in Chinese to a fellow Chinese with regards to visa policy and visa requirements.

Thanks. HR has been able to get most of the staff visas, but since we all have different job descriptions they're having trouble with a few. And there are other complications.

Anyways if I can find someone here on this site or another expat site I'm just going to direct them to our HR department.

Berry seems to know all about visas but Berry is in Shanghai and I have to find someone in Shenzhen because it's a different PSB.

K... lunch is over and time to go back to work... I mean sleep
