Angelina Posted November 17, 2017 at 09:37 AM Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 at 09:37 AM Don't forget that Z visas are issued for working in China and teaching English is not the only kind of job someone can have in China. Please, make that distinction in either the topic or later in your post. Someone who has never been to China might be mislead that somehow well-paid, type A work on a Z visa at a Tier 1 city can be issued only to people from certain countries. Teaching English is only one thing you can do in China. There are so many opportunities in China. 3 hours ago, ChTTay said: As for non-native speakers working for agencies or what-not, it’s a tough life. Often work way more hours for a lot less pay and no benefits. I overheard a women from El Salador in the local police station recently saying she gets paid 3k a month with a bedroom in an apartment. She said if she is late for work or misses a day, they deduct her whole weeks pay. I worked with someone from an agency who’s circumstance were a lot better than that but they still had to work 6 days a week. I agree with what @ChTTay said, anything illegal or semi-legal (if you are working on a Z visa, but something is not quite right), you might end up in a situation like the one described above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChTTay Posted November 17, 2017 at 09:43 AM Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 at 09:43 AM ”Don't forget that Z visas are issued for working in China and teaching English is not the only kind of job someone can have in China.” I can’t find the quote button on my phone. The OP is talking about jobs in schools... so of course we’re talking about Z visas for teaching. We haven’t forgotten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelina Posted November 17, 2017 at 10:58 AM Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 at 10:58 AM Yes, but it is better to say it explicitly, Z visas for teaching English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yury Posted February 19, 2018 at 08:43 AM Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 at 08:43 AM FYI Getting Z visa for non-natives is possible in case you have a degree. For the papers your employer will ask you to fake your experience in case you don't have one. With this you'll get your visa with the right to work as a teacher of anything else but English. So, technically speaking you'll still be illegal even though there's a Z visa on your passport. And the last, it's most likely that you'll have to lie to everyone about your place of origin. It can get quite tough. I guess if you want to go legal, then it's better to forget about teaching English in China as a non-native speaker.
