Teaching and working with 'F' visa


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a few questions about Chinese visas and would be grateful for any help on the following matters:

1. Do you know if it is legal to teach English for a language school or work in other roles with a business 'F' visa?

2. Can you legally study with a business 'F' visa?

3. Also, what is the maximum length of time that you can stay in China for, without leaving the country, with a business 'F' visa?

1) No, but it's often done. I would want a working visa for any long-term employment though, which any legitimate employer should be willing and able to get for you.

2) Yes. An F visa is strictly speaking 访问- visiting, and can be used for non-business purposes.

3) Depends. Could be a 30 day maximum stay limit, or no limit at all beyond the length of your visa.

When I was living in China I had an F visa. The initial visa was for six months, but the company I worked for extended it twice. They got a three month extension each time for a total of one year.
