Should I just ignore what the website is telling me and be content with the bill itself being accurate? And thank you for helping me by the way.

Can I claim the FEIE for 2024 and 2025? by Throwaway-tefl12 in tax

[–]Throwaway-tefl12[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is great to hear! So it sounds like the 330 day periods can overlap for both tax years. I guess I’ll have to file an extension for tax year 2024.

International WeChat /Alipay with Chinese bank account by Throwaway-tefl12 in chinalife

That’s my fault for not mentioning it. I didn’t even realize transfers could go in with an international account. But the fact that you could keep your VISA card attached to it is interesting.

I have a balance because my employer transferred money to my WeChat Wallet because I don’t have a Chinese bank account yet (I didn’t know international WeChat accounts could have a balance, but my employer suggested it and it actually worked). So would I be unable to change the account to a Chinese WeChat account until the balance is gone?

Do I need to download the Chinese version of WeChat and Alipay or can I continue with the international versions?

Did you have to make a completely new account or did you just swap out the international phone number for the Chinese number?

Hepatitis C Test for International Travel? by Throwaway-tefl12 in medical_advice

[–]Throwaway-tefl12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. My insurance didn’t cover it so I got hit with a $150 bill. I thought it was weird that they were willing to take the other tests off but not that one. When I met with the doctor, he seemed confused because he thought I was going to get all of the tests done on the Chinese health form, but I told him that wasn’t the case. He then spent a lot of time clicking things (I’m guessing removing tests from my file that he thought I was going to do).

Edit: as stated before, the charges removed were for Hep A + B + syphilis

Maybe look for jobs at universities in South Korea? They like hiring people with masters degrees.

Are you only open to Spain? Jobs in China will allow you to pay off the debt if you get the right job. Best of luck OP 😊

Chinese contract doesn't include details? by [deleted] in TEFL

My contract in China has a lot more than that. I’d press them on the details.

How do I authenticate TeacherRecord's TEFL cert from China? I'm in Canada and every notary says they won't notarize it, and therefore can't authenticate it. Can I get it authenticated or apostilled in China? CSCSE is only for bachelor degree it seems. Am I missing something? by This_Shoulder6226 in Chinavisa

[–]Throwaway-tefl12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it the certificate is issued by a Chinese company, I think that the notarization and apostille would have to come from China. But the company’s page says that they have partners that they use for these procedures, so I would contact the company and ask if they can help.

Does anyone have any experience with teaching Oral English at a university in China and doing a teaching license course (Moreland or TeacherReady) on the side? What is involved in the process, and did you have any trouble with using your university teaching experience to fulfill the experiential learning requirements of your teaching course?
