What
is the difference between a tourist visa and a work visa? |
 |
A
tourist visa allows a foreigner to travel in China, but it does not
permit a foreigner to work in China. To obtain a work visa, a foreigner
has to be sponsored by a Chinese company. We do this for all of our
foreign teachers. |
|
Do
you help your teachers come to China? |
|
Teachers
are advised to arrange their trips to china by themselves or through
local travel agents. They can also contact us for general guidance. |
|
What
should a teacher, who has just been hired, plan to bring to China? |
|
It
is necessary for each teacher to bring two copies of their university
diploma, resume, teaching certificate, and 6-8 passport sized photos
to be submitted for the work visa and medical exam. Though not absolutely
necessary, it is a good idea to bring along photos of friends and
family, English magazines, and holiday paraphernalia, all of which
make good teaching aids. A phrasebook and a guidebook are not bad
ideas either. As for clothing, one pair of formal shoes is recommended
for special events. For the cool Guangzhou winters, a jacket, some
sweaters, and long underwear are a good idea, and for the rainy season,
a waterproof jacket is handy. |
|
Do
you have a dress code? |
|
We
require our teachers to dress in a professional manner. This does
not mean that they have to wear suits, but they should not wear tank
tops, thongs, cut-offs or any other very casual wear. |
|
What
immunization shots should a teacher who is going to China get? |
|
Teachers
should contact a health unit in their home country for current requirements.
Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio, Typhoid, MMR,
and Japanese Encephalitis are usually recommended. There are also
several hospitals and clinics in Guangzhou with English speaking doctors
who can administer the shots for them, but they will not administer
vaccination serums brought from outside of China. |
