Is 学历 required to apply for China work visa?

[my3rdlang]

I will be applying for a work visa in China soon.

I heard that we need to submit our 大学学历 (record of formal university schooling). I am pretty sure that my university (in usa) has never given us such a thing. All I have is my degree (学位） and transcript　（成绩单）.

Those of you who applied for a work permit/visa in the past, did they ask for the 学历？

Ｔｈａｎｋｓ！

Pretty sure I didn't need that, only a 简历 - CV.

I think a photocopy of your university graduation certificate (what you are calling your degree 學位) will be fine - basically anything to show that you graduated.

When i applied for a work permit i supplied a CV (簡歷) and a copy of my graduation certificate.

I was asked for copies of my degree certificates for teaching jobs in China, too.

Of course you must supply a copy of your degree certificate. I've never, ever heard of anyone being asked for their school record, though.

Here and here are the requirements for issuing a Z visa (this is a leaflet issued by Guangxi Foreign Experts Bureau - there may be slight local variations, but not drastic ones).
