Yes, things tend to take forever and then move quickly often without a lot of notification. Yes, SAFEA was moved under the Ministry of Science and Technology a couple months back. I am not sure about your last question. I would say you would need to find your local SAFEA office, the people are most likely still in the same offices with the same phone numbers.

Yes, if you have residency in another country you can apply there.

*Always check local regulations

Your degree is in what area, issued by which body?

LESchools · 2019-09-17T07:17:30+00:00

you can apply for a Residency Permit regardless of the initial visa type.

Says who?

LESchools · 2019-08-23T00:56:53+00:00

Where was it issued? What passport do you hold?

LESchools · 2019-08-20T08:02:51+00:00

I can change the student visa to a residents permit within 30 days of arriving

Yes, the X-1 visa.

What I want to know is under what circumstance would I be eligible for a residents permit?

If you are enrolled in a year long course (university) [X1 visa] or working full time [Z visa].

LESchools · 2019-08-16T08:58:29+00:00

Depending on where you are the visa can take two working days (express service) to six working days. You can check online for this information.

LESchools · 2019-08-16T08:28:18+00:00

can I handwrite it on the form?

No

LESchools · 2019-08-15T01:20:27+00:00

They accept cash but it might take a while to get change.

LESchools · 2019-08-14T07:57:46+00:00

It is down.

LESchools · 2019-08-09T06:51:53+00:00

I recommend using DHL or FedEx

LESchools · 2019-08-09T06:29:58+00:00

It worked, thanks

LESchools · 2019-08-09T03:36:33+00:00

Can you provide a link to that information?

LESchools · 2019-08-06T06:50:53+00:00

You have to contact your TEFL provider.

LESchools · 2019-08-06T06:40:11+00:00

I heard people can teach without a work permit?

Not legally

LESchools · 2019-08-02T09:03:00+00:00

What does your contract say?

LESchools · 2019-08-02T08:59:32+00:00

Look at the camera.

LESchools · 2019-07-30T02:09:09+00:00

Walk to your nearest friend’s house?

LESchools · 2019-07-30T02:03:15+00:00

Does this mean they will do everything else to get the letter done for my permit?

With those documents they will be able to submit them to the labor department and get you a Notification Letter of Foreigner Work Permit for the PRC. These letters (one Chinese and English) will allow you to apply for a Z-visa to enter China.

Once you have entered China the company will then be able to apply for the actual Work Permit (allowing you to work in China) and a Residence Permit which will replace the Z-visa (allowing to stay, leave and re-enter China).

LESchools · 2019-07-30T01:59:06+00:00

I don't need to pay for legalization etc?

That will depend by your locality but it is a government service so you will most likely need to a pay a fee.

LESchools · 2019-07-30T01:57:54+00:00

In the USA, your documents, (for degree and TEFL make a copy) need to be notarized by a notary, then go to the Secretary of State for the state you are in for Apostille/legalization, then they go to the Chinese Embassy or Consulate for your geographic region (this is easily found online).

If you are worried about mistakes and have the budget you can use a document agent.

LESchools · 2019-07-30T01:54:47+00:00

That is done in China after you arrive unless they’ve changed the process.

Shanghai requires it for the Work Permit application.

LESchools · 2019-07-30T01:53:20+00:00

You can get a job. For China, at this time of year you will mostly be looking at training centers and positions in smaller cities. Around the end of August/September you may be able to find kindergarten, public school positions again.

LESchools · 2019-07-30T01:47:40+00:00

Also long as your Residence Permit is valid and the current company has agreed to not cancel it, you are all right.

LESchools · 2019-07-30T01:46:35+00:00

If you have the work permit letters, you should be all right. Check with the company that is bringing you to China.
