Let's go through each step in detail

Step 1. Complete the police inspection

USA: usually the non criminal background in local police station is enough, but these policies have become more and more strict recently. Our suggestion is to get the criminal background of the state directly rather than the local background, so as to save trouble in the future.

Step 2: Notarization

Now you have a police inspection and you have the materials ready. At this stage, you need to find notaries / lawyers / law firms / banks and notarize with them to obtain police checks and degree certificates. It can be done in one day.

Step 3. Legalization

Now it's the most complex part of the visa application process - legalization, which usually takes a month to complete. You have obtained a notarized degree and police inspection. They must be sent to the government to legitimize it. The government department here refers to the Ministry of foreign affairs of the country. Some countries, such as Ireland, do not need to implement this step. So people from Ireland just need to skip this step!

Step 4. Chinese Certification

Finally, you come to this step! Now, you can apply degree, criminal record check and TEFL (only for native speakers!) Take it to the Chinese Consulate / Embassy for certification. The work experience documents we mentioned above do not need to be authenticated or legalized. It only needs to be provided in English. You can submit documents in person, or you can use a third party (for example, a family member or an agent) to submit documents. Before submitting documents, you need to fill out a form, print it out and take it to the consulate office.

Step 5: Scan and send to the appropriate agency

Step 6: Apply for work visa
