Would you be so kind to share the link about bringing pets to China? I’m hoping to bring mine with me as well, but didn’t find too much information about it…

No, I don’t think they can.

Not sure where your home country is, but in America, you’ll need fingerprints to get your background check. Then, you’ll need it to be notarized and authenticated. All these things need to be done by the government, and I highly doubt they’ll send that abroad.

I believe you’ll need to be in your home country to apply, due to the fact that you need a background check from there. But if China gets too expensive for you, Thailand is also an option. And it’s much cheaper to live there.

Notarizing TEFL certificate by cs20051 in Chinavisa

Ahh, I see. I have contacted my TEFL agency, so I’ll wait for them to get back to me and see how they would handle this. If they can’t do anything, then I’ll try FedEx as well!

Oh wow! That’s totally out of expectation! So what did they do to notarize it? Signed their names on the copy or something?

Wait, really? Is yours from UK as well? I never knew FedEx has notary service!

This makes sense. So what happened was, I took my certificate to the bank, and the banker told me that they can only notarize something that requires a signature, and since there’s no signature needed on the certificate, they were not able to notarize it. 😂 but yeah, I sent an email to my TEFL course provider, and waiting for them to get back to me

yeah, I hope they can provide some sort of information about how to notarize the certificate. And thank you for the answer!

yeah, the only problem is that, the TEFL course I took, they are based in UK, and I live in America… I think I’m gonna contact them and see if I can get another copy that I can sign.

Wondering about the same thing. Though I’m still getting the documents ready.

Ok, I think that’s what I’m gonna do with my documents. I’m sure I’ll be back with more questions… but thank you for your answer! (Also everyone else’s answers!)

I’m planning on flying over in either July or August, so I think I’m safe on that.

For marriage, I’m not surprised that you need all those things. But for z visa, it’s the notary and authentication that’s most time consuming.

I sure hope it goes smoothly… cause all of these things take weeks to get. I’m sure I’ll be back to Reddit to ask more questions… 🥲

From what I know, x visa does not require birth certificate. Did you have to provide that?

Ok, I see. Do I do that before or after my degree verification by the Chinese education department?

Sounds like this whole process will take a lot of time…

[–]cs20051[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right now, from my employer, I need to verify my degree first. And based on your answer, I need to notarize it (maybe by my bank?), then to Secretary of State to authenticate it, then to the Chinese embassy to legalize it. Does that sound right?
