Visa for china

Unread post by brehme »

Hello, can anyone help me?

Is it is possible to get a Z visa for china with an ordinary bachelor degree? Grade - pass?

Or does it need to be a bachelors degree with honours?

Thanks,

Yes, no problem. The criteria is the degree, not the subject, or grade. Be aware that online ones are not generally accepted.

Sure is.

Mine is just a plain old 'combined arts' degree, which started out as a history degree, with the Open University, UK.

I didn't finish it to be honest and I have 300 points on it instead of the usual 360. (I'd had enough of the 5/6 years part time study which becomes a chore eventually).

It matters not however for Asia teaching. It was awarded to me, and it's good for China. Funnily enough, it was queried while I was in Germany, due to the nature of the 'open' combined program and how Germany compares qualifications. (I was there to scope out the teaching opportunities there a few years ago).

Remember to get a Z Visa for China, it's a requirement to have your degree notarized, seen by a legal representative and stamped, and in my case Commonwealth stamped and Chinese consulate stamped. Its a hassle for sure, but necessary.

The main criteria is a stamped, legalised degree.

Hope this helps, Carl
