TEACH IN CHINA - THE VISA
Working in China legally is one of the most important aspects of Teaching English in China. Pre-departure, IST PLUS guides you through the necessary steps and paperwork to obtain the correct visa. The visa work is simple for you because we obtain all of the contracts and paperwork from your Chinese host school for you. You will complete 2-3 brief forms, and then have the choice of either applying for the visa yourself (you can do this online and via post by going to the Official Chinese Embassy Visa service, or sending the required documentation to IST Plus for us to do it for you(additional fees apply - for more information on how this works please email info@istplus.com).
Your processed passport will be returned to you before you depart, in some cases JUST before you depart for China*.
After your arrival at school, your institution will coordinate all legal documentation associated with working in China and assist with obtaining this paperwork which will be your work permit. Staying legal in China is very important!
Note: Due to Chinese visa processing constraints, it will be necessary for you to submit your passport and supporting documents for processing approximately six weeks prior to the program start date. You should not have plans to use your passport between this date and your departure for China. There are times when the visa process will seem, by Western standards, to be very “last minute.” Consider this to be part of the experience and welcome to Chinese time!
