As China is playing a more and more important role in the world economic stage in recent years, foreigners who have followed the new spirit of competition to make their mark on this 5,000-year-old land. Foreigners are welcome in China, and it’s easy for them to find a job. However, many companies have given up hiring foreign talent because of the cumbersome process of getting a foreigner's work permit. So usadahe have summarized this work visa guidance, and share with you!

中国正在成为世界上受教育程度最快的国家之一。每年有数百万学生从“高考”考试进入大学，数千所教育机构遍布城镇和省。还有数百万人到国外的欧洲，北美及其他地区的著名大学学习。由于这一巨大的社会变革，中国面临着将数百万毕业生纳入就业市场的挑战，而这个市场现状几乎无法跟上。一个伴随着越来越多接受教育，白领人口的工业经济导致的结果是毕业生失业率上升。

China is becoming one of the fastest educated countries in the world. Every year, millions of students enter universities from the "gaokao" test, and thousands of educational institutions are located in cities and provinces. Millions and more go abroad to study at prestigious universities in Europe, North America and elsewhere.  Because of this huge social change, China faces the challenge of integrating millions of graduates into a job market that can barely keep up. An industrial economy with more educated, white-collar workers has led to rising graduate unemployment.

更严格的签证要求

Stricter visa requirements

由于这种快速的社会变革，对外国人来说一个大学文凭再也不能轻松谋得一份职位。作为一个在中国求职的外国人，证明你的能力和经验是在当地中国人平均水平之上的，才能在中国的求职市场中成为不可或缺的人才。随之而来的就产生了两个要求，即在中国申请工作时，外国人才需要具备本科加两年的相关工作经验，或者其他专业权威的证书。例如，如果外国人才申请英语教学职位，这位外国人才持有有效的TEFL / TESOL证书，那么他有资格获得工作签证；如果没有，那么他必须证明有两年的英语教学工作经验。

Because of this rapid social change, a college degree is no longer easy to get a job for foreigners. As a foreigner looking for a job in China, you need to prove that your skills and experience are above the local Chinese average to become an indispensable talent in the Chinese job market. This has led to the requirement that foreign applicants should have at least bachelor’s degree and two years relevant work experience or other professional certificates when applying for work visa in China. For example, if a foreign talent applies for an English teaching position and holds a valid TEFL/TESOL certificate, he is eligible for a work visa; If not, he must prove that he has two years English teaching work experience.

两年相关工作经验

Two years related work experience

仅仅在中国寻找合适的工作是不够的。除了毕业后有两年工作经验的要求，这两年的工作经验还必须和打算从事的职位相关。例如，如果外国人才在毕业后做过英语老师的职位，两年后希望转做市场经理的职位，那么可能会遇到困难，因为之前的经验在这个全新的职位来说没有什么用处。需要外国人才有可证明的相关职位经验。中国签证制度在审查工作许可申请时会考虑到这一点，但中国的许多公司HR都还不了解这条规则。如果外国人才毕业时间或工作经历不够两年，那么外国人才的签证申请也可能被拒绝。但是，我们在某些特殊案例中也有成功案例，针对于具体的情况还需要实际分析。

It's not enough just to find the right job in China. In addition to the requirement to have two years of work experience after graduation, the two years of work experience must be relevant to the position you intend to pursue. For example, if a foreign talent has worked as an English teacher after graduation and wants to transfer to a marketing manager position after two years, they may have difficulties because their previous experience is of little use in the new position，and may need extra documents to prove that they have relevant experience as the position. China's visa system takes this into account when reviewing work permit applications, but many HR personnel in China are not aware of this rule. Foreign talent may also be denied a visa if they have graduated or worked for less than two years. However, we have some successful cases in some special cases, and practical analysis is needed for specific situations.
