Requirements For China

Many young graduates go on to teach in China, despite the fact that they have no previous teaching experience. It is not necessary to have past teaching experience in order to get a teaching position in China, as long as you have a 120-hour TEFL certificate and a BA degree in any topic. Many schools in China now provide their own unique TEFL certificate at no cost, so it is frequently advantageous to discover a suitable school first and check whether they provide a free TEFL course before enrolling. In order to be eligible to teach in China, you must have a TEFL certificate that is at least 120 hours in length, whether obtained online or offline. The Chinese government has set this as the minimum criteria for teaching in China.

Regulations governing visas:

Obtaining a 'Z' work visa is required in order to legally operate as an English teacher in China. All of our partner schools are certified to issue 'Z' work visas for its instructors, and they will help you with the necessary paperwork, allowing you to apply for your visa in your home country once you have completed your employment in the United States.

Chinese Work Visas - The Application and Processing Procedure.

When a Notary Public certifies that the signature on a document is real and genuine, the document is referred to as being notarized or notarized.

In most cases, this step is accomplished in the nation where the document was created. Another kind of certification is one that is issued by a solicitor pertaining to the signatures that have been made on a piece of documentation.

Apostille — a government official in the nation of origin must certify that the signature of the Notary Public or the Solicitor is authentic and genuine before the document may be accepted as official. Prior to Legalization, the Apostille must be authenticated to ensure that it is genuine. These are carried out by a Home Office, such as the Foreign and Commonwealth Office or the Department of State, among others.

Legalisation means that the Chinese Embassy may now proclaim and recognise the authenticity of the signature, seal, or stamp that appears on the document.

Only when you have validated your papers and given a scanned copy of them to your employer school can their human resources team begin the process of submitting your work 'z' visa application to the Provincial Visa Office in your country.

Please allow enough time for the above-mentioned procedure, which might take up to three weeks.

It is possible that your employer school may pay to the expenses of the authentication procedure; nevertheless, if such a contribution is specified in your employment contract, be sure to save any receipts or invoices.

It is important to double-check that the granting institution of your document corresponds to the nation in which it is being validated. For example, in the United Kingdom, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office can only legalize degrees, TEFL certificates, and criminal record checks that have been issued by universities in the United Kingdom.

The procedure of notarization and legalization varies from nation to country - see below for a description of the document authentication process in the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
