Getting Your Visa

1. You will provide your documents (resume, degree, copy of your passport, current photo and reference letter).
2. You sign a contract (this is your intent to work for a particular school).
3. You will (in most cases) complete your medical check and email us the results (1-8 days). Download the form here.
4. You get the non-criminal record from the local police station in your home country，then have it notarized it by the Chinese Embassy/Consulate.
5. You get the degree notarization from the Chinese embassy or you can do this through Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange(CSCSE) in Beijing: http://renzheng.cscse.edu.cn/Login.aspx
6. The school starts the online visa application after submitting all of the above documents to the government system (Within one week).

8. You will take the work permit, a visa application form (available here), passport, and new passport photos to your nearest Chinese Embassy/Consulate to apply for an entry Z-visa (If you are not near one, use a company like www.visarite.com) (1-4 days processing time)
