What are the requirements for applying for a visa for foreign teachers?

Applying for a visa for a foreign teacher is a very complicated matter, especially the first time I do it, and I can't figure it out. Although there is a lot of information about applying for a visa on the Internet, there are still various troubles in practice.

First of all, as a training institution or school, you must have the qualifications to hire and run a school. If you don't have these two, then the foreign teacher can't legally work under your name, that is, you can't apply for a work visa for the foreign teacher, and the foreign teacher institution without a work permit is in danger of being arrested and fined.

Then he said that he had applied for a work visa for the foreign teacher. First of all, you need to determine whether your foreign teacher is qualified to apply for a work permit. There are three main requirements:

1.Teachers must be from the native speaking country of the language they are teaching.

There are actually quite a lot of English-speaking countries, but these six countries are circulating on the Internet: the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland. But now South Africa and Jamaica are also included, so there are eight countries in total.

2.Possess a bachelor's degree or above.

No matter what country it is, a bachelor's degree in any major is fine. But you HR should see clearly, some foreign teachers have a degree, but what is an associate degreeThis doesn't count, this is a bit like a junior college in China.

3.At least 2 years of experience in English teaching International language teaching certificate (TEFL, TESOL, CELTA, etc.) Bachelor's degree or above in education, language or teacher training.

With these three elements, congratulations, you can apply for a visa for your foreign teacher.

At this point, you need to start understanding the whole process. There is such a picture on the official website of the SAFEA, which is very detailed, and if you haven't seen it, you can take a look at it first, which is very important.

Next, you have to start looking for foreign teachers to ask for various materials: bachelor's degree or above (notarization + certification), no criminal record (notarization + certification), tefl teosl celta (n),**, passport (notarization), work qualifications, physical examination certificate, labor contract and other materials.

Once these materials are ready, you can proceed to the first step on the way, which is to apply for the notification of the foreigner's work permit in China. The specific steps are as above. In fact, the next steps, as long as the materials are ready, can be carried out smoothly, as long as you follow the steps of the SAFEA.

Follow the requirements for a work visa.

Legal analysis: First of all, you must have the qualifications for hiring and running a school. If there are no of these two, then the foreign teacher cannot legally work in the institution, that is, the institution cannot apply for a work visa for the foreign teacher, and there is no legal work permit for the foreign teacher, then the institution will have the possibility of being fined.

The next step is to apply for a work visa for the foreign teacher, first of all, you need to determine whether the foreign teacher has the qualifications to handle the work visa.

1.Teachers must be from the native speaking country of the language they are teaching.

English-speaking countries include: the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and South Africa.

2.Possess a bachelor's degree or higher.

No matter what country you are in, you must have a bachelor's degree in any major.

3.Have two years or more of English teaching experience, or have an international teacher qualification certificate and other relevant certificates.

With these three elements, you can apply for a visa for a foreign teacher.

Legal basis: Law of the People's Republic of China on Exit and Entry Administration

Article 30 Where a foreigner's visa indicates that he or she needs to apply for a residence permit after entering the country, he or she shall, within 30 days from the date of entry, apply to the exit-entry administration of the local people's ** public security organ at or above the county level in the intended place of residence for a foreigner's residence permit.

Article 33 The registration items of a foreigner's residence permit include: the name of the holder, the sex of the applicant, the date of birth, the reason for residence, the period of residence, the date and place of issuance, the number of the passport or other international travel document, etc.

If there is a change in the registration items of a foreigner's residence permit, the holder of the certificate shall apply to the entry-exit file management agency of the local people's ** public security organ at or above the county level in the place of residence within 10 days from the date of the change in the registration item.

Article 37 Foreigners staying or residing in China shall not engage in activities incompatible with the reasons for their stay or residence, and shall leave China before the expiration of the prescribed period of stay or residence.

I believe that many colleges and universities will have foreign teachers, so, do you know what certificates foreign teachers need?

01 TEFL Certificate, the full name of Teaching English as a Foreign Certificate is a globally recognized certificate and is internationally recognized. This certificate is one of the important certificates to prove whether the foreign teacher has received a certain amount of oral and teaching method training.

02 TESOL certificate, the full name of teaching English to speakers of other languages. The certificate is issued by the American TESOL Education Association and is recognized by international organizations. In addition, many native English-speaking countries and most English training providers accept this certificate!

03 TESL Certificate, full name Teaching English as a Second Language. This certificate is also widely recognized by Tuanshen around the world, but unlike the previous two certificates, the TESL certificate is a specially designed training course for teaching non-native English teachers.

04 There is not much essential difference between TESOL, TEFL and TESL foreign teacher certificates in China, as long as you obtain one of the above three certificates, you can be accepted by domestic universities and major training institutions!

Legal basis: Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Passports and Visas

Article 9 Chinese citizens and foreigners who go abroad or reside abroad for private purposes must apply for Chinese visas when exiting, entering or passing through the Chinese border, and the specific measures shall be implemented in accordance with the relevant regulations. Chinese citizens who go abroad for business purposes do not need to apply for Chinese entry and exit visas when entering and exiting the country with valid passports.

Citizens of countries that have signed mutual visa exemption agreements with China shall be handled in accordance with the agreement.

Article 10 There are three types of visas: diplomatic, official and ordinary, and the issuing authority shall issue the corresponding visas according to the type of passport in principle. However, if necessary, a different type of visa may be issued.

The work visa for expatriates is to first apply for an employment permit, a job offer letter, a work permit, and a residence permit.

Foreigners who work in China without a permit are one of the "three non-foreigners" who are illegally employed, and may face fines, criminal detention, and deportation. In addition to working legally, foreigners with work visas can enjoy the same benefits as Chinese citizens to buy a house, buy a car, pay social security, go to school for their children, and take a driver's license.

Legal basis: Article 43 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Exit and Entry of the People's Republic of China stipulates that a foreigner who commits any of the following acts is considered to be illegally employed:
