• People of creative professions - actors, models, dancers, vocalists;

You can get a pretty good job as a teacher. The main thing is to determine the direction of skills and training programs. You can get a job as a teacher of English and Russian. To be an English teacher, it is not necessary to have very deep knowledge and a high conversational level.

Most importantly, to become a teacher in China, you need to have good pronunciation and a high level of grammar. You can teach small children with such knowledge in kindergartens, in elementary schools.
The salary of such a teacher will be from five thousand yuan, plus travel and accommodation will be paid.

Naturally, it will be much easier for people from the post-Soviet space to be a teacher of the Russian language, but the salary level is two times less than for teaching English. However, many schools really need Russian teachers.

Employment in the artistic field is quite in demand in China. There are a lot of interesting vacancies for girls both in modeling agencies and nightclubs, theater and show productions.

Therefore, the search for vacancies should be reasonable. It is necessary to find out and think over in advance all possible situations that may arise in the process of working in a foreign country, especially in the entertainment and service industries. In addition, if the contract is signed, it will be very difficult to terminate it. The search for vacancies should either be entrusted to a professional, or make sure that the employer is very solid and there will be no problems with him.

Professions such as fashion models, strippers, dancers are very well paid in China. Therefore, if the contract is signed officially, then there should be no problems and various troubles. Feedback on such work is quite multifaceted. There is always someone offended, and there are those who are delighted with what is happening.

Typically, such contracts for artist vacancies have a short period. On average, from three months to several years. Appearance plays an important role in employment in China.

Girls with a soft appearance are usually not hired for many existing vacancies, since most employers want attractive young ladies who will attract customers with just their appearance.

In any case, when applying for a job, it is always better to draw up a contract even before departure to China. Firstly, there will be time to search for worthy options, and secondly, when signing a contract, both parties are protected from various troubles. In addition, if the contract is concluded before leaving for the Middle Kingdom, then usually the company providing jobs takes responsibility for issuing a work visa and paying for the flight.

Working in China in general is quite interesting. Many who have been there for the purpose of employment are trying to linger and stay on. Their decision is influenced not only by the standard of living and social security, but also by the special cultural and spiritual atmosphere that many people like.

Searching for vacancies does not take much effort and time, the main thing is to clearly define what to look for. In general, all categories of the population can find a job, but, naturally, the Chinese prefer the young.

The prospects for working in China are indeed encouraging. According to experienced immigrants, it is really profitable to work in the People's Republic of China. The main factors for a successful prospect are a profession in demand, high qualifications and solid practical experience. Under such conditions, it is quite possible to find a job as a specialist with wages equivalent to earnings in the US or the UK.

The most common vacancies and wages in China

One of the most common vacancies in 2018 is the position of an English teacher. Moreover, the age range of applicants for such vacancies is 22-60 years. Teachers are usually required for three types of positions - in public schools, in private and in preschool institutions.

The average salary for public school teachers is 6,000–8,000 CNY per month ($900–1,200). Private school teachers are paid almost twice as much 9000–15000 CNY ($1350–2275). Preschool teachers receive 5,000–12,000 CNY ($760–1,820) per month of work.

CNY is the international abbreviation for the Chinese Yuan.

Similar offers, but for professor-level teachers, are also often found in the lists of popular vacancies. For example, the position of an Arabic teacher at Changchun University. For 12–18 hours of work per week, they are ready to pay 5,000–8,000 CNY of a monthly salary and provide a comfortable apartment for free for the entire time of work.

Many open vacancies in marketing and PR internships. Often, under such proposals, there is an opportunity for university students to work as interns. For this category of workers, the average salary is 3000-5000 CNY per month, while professional candidates can expect a salary level twice as high.

Technical engineers in the field of web applications and software are always in demand in China. There are vacancies for different levels of specialists. The average salary is 6000-8000 CNY per month. However, for professionals, the salary level can reach 30,000–40,000 CNY ($4,500–6,000).

Working conditions and language skills

The length of the working day established by Chinese law (Article 36 of the Labor Law) is 8 hours. The amount of time worked per week must not exceed 44 hours. The schedule applies to the entire range of state-owned companies, including private business entities. Foreign companies or firms with foreign capital must also comply with the provisions of the law.

Meanwhile, the Chinese employer has the right to increase the length of the working day, if the nature of production requires it. However, such actions must be coordinated with the trade union organization and the labor collective. In the event of unforeseen circumstances (natural disaster, accident), daily working hours may be increased without agreement, but no more than 3 hours and no more than 36 hours within a month.

The same law "On Labor" defines the system of payment for overtime. If overtime hours were worked on a working day, processing is paid at the rate of 150% of the salary. Overtime on weekends is paid at the rate of 200% of the salary. Employment on non-working holidays involves payment of 300% of monthly accruals.

One of the important criteria that helps to quickly find a job that meets the needs of applicants is knowledge of Chinese. Language knowledge at the level of the so-called Mandarin is considered good. In Russian society, such an interpretation of the name of the Chinese language is extremely rare. "Mandarin" is a collection of Chinese language dialects - putonghua, huayu, goyu. This is the basic training that job seekers in China should be guided by.

Stage of official employment

Immigrants who intend to go to the Middle Kingdom to work will need to apply for a work visa (classified as a Z-visa) to enter the country. Before applying, a foreign national must obtain a work permit in China. As a rule, a Z-visa provides for a single visit to the country and does not specify the length of stay.

Video about getting a work visa

After obtaining a Z visa, an immigrant must enter China within 90 days. A foreigner arriving in the country is given 24 hours to complete the Temporary Residence Registration Form and no more than 1 month to finally register a temporary residence permit with the local Public Security Bureau. This service issues a China Residence Permit on the basis of a Z visa. The permit obtained opens up the possibility of multiple entries into the country during the year and determines the specific duration of the foreigner's stay in China.

Registration documents:

• international passport,
• completed application forms (forms V2011A, V2011B),
• three photographs 35x45 mm (the statute of limitations is not more than 6 months),
• original work permit

• a copy of the educational document (diploma, certificate),
• employment contract,
• medical health certificate.

The package of documents for renewal is required the same as for the initial registration.

Work permit for foreigners, including Russians

Any foreigner who intends to engage in labor activity in the Middle Kingdom must have an appropriate permit. In fact, the employer does this directly. However, the applicant for the job must prepare and send to the employer a package of documents:

• copies of pages of a foreign passport,

• applicant resume,
• one photo 35x45 mm,
• copies of work book pages,

The entire package of documents must be translated into English or Chinese (preferably both). It is recommended that the documents be notarized. Particular attention is drawn to the medical certificate, which must be with a photograph, notarized and confirmed by the signatures of the main specialists.

… A medical examination for a foreigner is in Russian, but at the moment it is no longer possible to find it there, check with the employer what certificate he will need to obtain a work permit.

Consequences for trying to illegally get a job in China

Immediately it should be noted: foreigners found guilty of illegal entry into China, illegal residence or illegal employment may eventually be deported and banned from visiting the country for 5 years.

Under the new immigration law, for every illegally employed immigrant, the employer faces a fine of 10,000 to 100,000 yuan. The new version of the law provides for the mandatory presence of a foreign worker with the following documents:

• identity cards,
• work permits,
• permission to stay in the country.

If there are none, the immigrant can be fined between 5,000 and 20,000 yuan. In some cases, imprisonment is applied in addition to the fine.

Foreigners residing in the country illegally may get by with a verbal warning for the first time. However, if the warning is ignored, violators will face a fine of up to 10,000 yuan and imprisonment for a period of 5 to 15 days.

In addition, restaurants and clubs require workers for the positions of service personnel, cooks, accountants. An accountant in a Chinese restaurant can earn from $600 per month. A chef's monthly salary is about $1,000.

Foreign waiters with command of Chinese in restaurants earn from 900 dollars a month. Girls of European appearance with blond hair are also welcome. The age criterion for selecting employees is from 21 to 35 years. The salary of applicants who do not speak spoken Chinese is from about $ 500 per month.

Work for musicians and bands

In an Asian country, it is possible to find vacancies for both solo performers and musical groups. The terms and conditions of the work contract are negotiated with the employer individually. Basically, employers pay for the visa, tickets and accommodation.

The level of wages depends on the professional capabilities of the musicians, the composition of the team and the program of performances that the applicants have in their arsenal. On average, it ranges from $1,000 to $1,500 per month. It is possible to get a job as a musician in a restaurant or club, and you can also perform on the beaches, gala evenings or play at presentations.

Translators in China

Many companies in an Asian country need translators for negotiations and meetings. Also, translators are required to accompany guests and tourists as guides from the airport to the hotel, conduct excursions, visit exhibitions in China. Such employees can earn from 50 to 100 dollars a day. The salary of novice translators or students is slightly lower.

Work in China for Russians, vacancies 2019 without knowledge of the language - is it real? A review about working in China, about finding a job and salary for a foreigner in China was written by Pavel Andreevsky. This traveler traveled all over China. 🙂

In the comments to the article, a large number of vacancies for working in China for Russians without knowledge of the language and resumes have been collected. You can also leave a short summary of your job search in China. Comments are published after checking for spam.

The Chinese work very hard. Many work hard for 12-14 hours a day. They have about 10-12 working days, i.e. not always recruited even two weeks. And pensions, as I understand it, are not provided. Well, it should be noted that they are not the most efficient and productive workers in China.

Therefore, they do not travel much and plan their vacation carefully. Now I understand why Chinese tourists come to some places in Europe, take pictures with their brand new Canons, then quickly get on the bus and leave. With such a length of vacation, there is no time left for anything.

Is it easy to earn $1500 in China?

Many acquaintances, when they find out how long I travel, are sincerely surprised and ask who gave me such a long vacation??? But even the Chinese cannot be compared in their diligence with the Japanese. Those generally work their whole lives for one company and allow themselves to rest only in retirement.

Review about China: work in China for Russians, vacancies 2019 without knowledge of the language

It seems to me that China is a unique place for foreigners. Usually to be a foreigner in a foreign country means to drag out not the best existence. And if you still don’t know the language, then write wasted. But not in China.

But work in China for Russians without knowledge of the language is quite real. Here I “laow”, i.e. "White man" is very comfortable to live and work. And it's not that the Chinese love foreigners, but also how easy it is to find a job here. The simplest option is job in china as an english teacher. If you are the owner of a European appearance, it will be easy for you to find a job. For some 20 hours a week, you can earn $ 1,500 and live for your own pleasure in one of the largest cities in China.

So, how much will you earn if you get a job as an English teacher in China? The minimum is 100 yuan per hour. Now it is equal to 1000 rubles. That's how much they'll pay me with no work experience. If your level is higher, you can get 150-250 yuan per hour (1500-2500 rubles).

Russian language teachers are also needed here. The Chinese everywhere study Russian, just like we do Chinese. And again, European appearance will help you with this. For the Chinese, it is like a symbol of success. Salaries are the same as those of English teachers.

Therefore, many are interested in working in China for Russians, vacancies 2019. Many people come here just to earn some money, but in such comfortable conditions they forget about everything and stay to live much longer than planned. A little later, I will separately talk about people of creative professions working in China.

Average salary in China

In China average salary 5,000 yuan (50,000 rubles). Today you can live here in peace and rent a separate small apartment. Sellers in supermarkets receive 2,500 yuan (25,000 rubles), engineers 7,500 yuan (75,000 rubles), teachers at the university 5,000 yuan (50,000 rubles). Handymen receive 2,000-3,000 yuan (20,000-30,000 rubles).

Good salary in China 10,000 yuan, which is approximately equal to 100,000 rubles. Therefore, the laowai, who can earn 15,000 yuan (150,000 rubles), live well and still save money for what they need.

How to quickly find a job in China

A few words about how to quickly find a job in China for Russians without knowing the language. Of course, through social networks. Subscribe to the public on the social network and receive a dozen job offers every day as a teacher. Model work is very popular, go-go dancers, singers, gymnasts, musicians, DJs and other talents are in great demand here. And everywhere there are burning opportunities marked "urgently". Hundreds of intermediary agents offer work in China for Russians and visiting foreigners with and without work experience.

I noticed that a huge number of Russians, Ukrainians and, probably, Belarusians write to these publics and offer their services. Every few hours, someone is looking for European or Slavic girls with good looks to the newly opened club with a note that they will have to drink with customers. As for go-go, it's a hit - with so many go-go dance job openings, it feels like China is preparing its foreign legion of go-go dancers to take over the world.

For me, "go-go" is depicted in the picture and this is the prayer that the Chinese say so that his moped in the picture does not suddenly stall. 🙂

Another proven way

Don't want to be on social media? Then need to come to China as a tourist, go around 10-20 places and negotiate with the employer live. It is one thing to write messages on the Internet and look at pictures, and quite another to see everything with your own eyes, see the future place of work and talk with your boss. This is how we met the singer at the Moscow restaurant in Sanya. She arrived and went to restaurants herself, asking about vacancies, until she found a job. Then she came again with a work visa, an invitation was sent to her by a new employer.

A little about the Chinese themselves

The modern world has changed the Chinese. Many of my friends and acquaintances who have been working here for a long time say that the traditions of the Chinese are increasingly fading into the background, and "the cult of money" for the first. Everyone loves money, but only the Chinese are frank about it.

Chinese girls and their parents have very high requirements for choosing a groom. For some time, the story of how a girl left her lover for the sake of his friend, who had a newer iPhone model, was promoted. So arranged marriages are very common here.

At the same time, the norms of morality somehow more and more come to naught. Married men are free to come to the club, buy themselves a pair of pretty Slavs who will drink and have fun with him. And some Chinese drink worse than Russians and at the same time try to get their interlocutors drunk as much as possible.

In general, if you need a job in China for Russians, vacancies 2019, then only the lazy will not find employment here. Do not limit yourself to one resume that you will not immediately be offered a job in China for Russians, actively look for vacancies and respond to them yourself.

A growing number of qualified professionals see China as an excellent country for temporary employment at competitive salaries. Considering that work in China for foreigners is paid quite well, this option may be of interest to many Russians. Moreover, the number of vacancies in China is growing every year. A significant part of them is available not only to those who know Chinese perfectly, but also to those who speak only Russian and English.

Standard of living in China

It is no secret that some of our fellow citizens are described on the basis of outdated stereotypes inspired by those times when the PRC was indeed a very poor country. But now, more than 30 years after the start of market reforms in China, this statement can be considered fundamentally wrong. Despite the fact that the population of this country exceeds 1.4 billion people, unemployment in China is at a low level (3.95% of the total number of able-bodied citizens).

The average salary in China as of 2017 is about $850 per month. At the same time, there is inequality in the incomes of residents of the country's largest metropolitan areas (Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen) and citizens living in rural areas or remote provinces in the west of the country. If the average resident of the Chinese capital can count on a salary of $1,200, then for an employee of an agricultural enterprise, an income of $400-500 is considered quite acceptable.

Advantages and disadvantages of working in China

The main advantages for foreigners planning to find a job in China are the relatively high salary and the absence of difficulties in obtaining a work visa. Compared to Western European countries, not to mention the US and Canada, it will be much easier for a Russian citizen to obtain a temporary residence permit in China. In addition, some vacancies in the local labor market are available even to those who do not know Chinese.

The official working week in China is 40 hours. Some employers, with the consent of the trade union, increase it to 44 hours. However, this does not mean that the working day can automatically increase to 8.5 hours. It's only about Saturday. Violation of workload norms is punishable by a fine for the employer.

Among the obvious advantages of working in China, it is worth noting:

• the opportunity to find a job in the specialty on more favorable terms than in Russia;
• while working and living in China, you can significantly improve your knowledge of the local language, move up the career ladder faster or improve your professional skills;
• unlike third world countries, living conditions in large cities of China are quite consistent with generally accepted standards.

Of course, along with the pluses of living in China, to complete the picture, it will be necessary to note the minuses. Among them it is worth highlighting:

• employers often practice overtime;
• to qualify for a good salary, you must meet high professional requirements;
• difference in mentality with the locals.

Job search options

There are several ways to find a job in China. This can be done on your own, through an agency, or through government programs. It is best to look for a job in advance, while still in Russia. So the applicant will have more time to choose a suitable job and negotiate with the employer.

On one's own

If a citizen decides to look for a job in China himself, then for this you can use special Internet resources. As a rule, sites for finding jobs in China are in English. Something suitable can be found on the forums or in social networks.

For example, in the most famous Russian-speaking online community "Eastern Hemisphere" there is a special section where current vacancies from different cities of China are regularly published. Also, one should not forget that on Russian employment sites quite often there are announcements about the search for employees who speak Chinese. Some of these vacancies are posted in order to find personnel to open a branch or representative office in China.

The most famous job search sites in China are:

• ChinaJob
• 51com
• Jhudson.cn

Through an agency

An alternative option for finding work in the PRC is employment through an intermediary. Usually this is an agency that receives its commission from each client who has found a job with their help. Such firms can be found both in Russia and in China.

The advantage of employment through an agency is that by concluding a formal contract, a citizen minimizes the risk associated with the fact that the expected vacancy after arriving at the place of work will already be filled. On the other hand, there is a danger that the agency may turn out to be a “one-day firm” and disappear, taking commissions from several hundred gullible citizens. Therefore, when hiring through an intermediary, it is always necessary to check the history of his activities. If the agency has only recently begun to provide its services, this is a serious reason to think about its reliability.

With the help of state and international programs

The most convenient way to find a job in China is to participate in official employment programs initiated by the Chinese government. This provides an additional guarantee that there will be no problems after arriving in the country. A participant in the state program for the employment of foreign citizens has the right to count on timely and high wages, free accommodation, social protection for the entire stay in China, as well as assistance in settling in a new place.

A few years ago, the Teach in China program was established by the PRC government to teach foreign languages ​​to local students. Considering that citizens of the United States, Great Britain or France are unlikely to be interested in the level of pay in Chinese schools and kindergartens, not only native speakers are invited to participate in this program, but also those who speak it at a level sufficient for teaching. For many Russian citizens who do not have problems with English, Teach in China provides an opportunity to find a job in China for a fairly high salary - about 1200 US dollars per month.

Applicants for the program are required to:

• age - from 18 to 35 years;
• the presence of an international certificate TESOL, confirming the knowledge of English at the level necessary for teaching;
• the presence of an international passport, the validity of which exceeds the expected period of work in the PRC;
• availability of a medical certificate confirming the absence of infectious and dangerous diseases;
• no criminal record;
• neat appearance.

Unlike many other foreign nationals working in China, Teach in China participants do not have to spend part of their salary on living expenses. Accommodation will be provided free of charge while working. In addition, teachers are provided with meals on weekdays. The duration of the program is from 6 to 12 months (one or two semesters).

If you do not have a TESOL certificate, you must first obtain it via the Internet by completing 120-hour courses and passing an exam. Registration of the document will cost about 200-250 dollars.

Au Pair

Another common employment program in China is the work of a child caregiver with homestay. Usually those parents who want their child to learn a foreign language from an early age are interested in hiring an Au Pair. Therefore, citizens of the Russian Federation who are fluent in English or French can easily get a job as an educator.

To participate in the Au Pair program, you must meet the following requirements:

• an unmarried woman between the ages of 18 and 30 with no children;
• level of English proficiency - not lower than Upper Intermediate (it is desirable to have a certificate);
• completed secondary education;
• no criminal record;
• medical certificate of the established form;
• experience working with children;
• neat appearance.

The salary for a live-in caregiver can range from $300 to $500. Meals and medical insurance are provided by the employer. Under the terms of the program, the caregiver must look after the child for no more than 3 hours each evening and no more than 30 hours during the whole week. One day a week the employee is given as a day off.

Popular specialties among foreigners

According to statistics, there are about 20-25 thousand Russian citizens in China on a permanent or temporary basis. Excluding diplomats and their families, the majority came to China for the purpose of finding employment or starting a business.

Among the most demanded specialties in China, for which Russians are willingly accepted, it is worth highlighting:

• teacher of English or Russian;
• an employee of a trading company (purchase and quality control of goods imported to Russia);
• artists of different genres (circus gymnasts, show-ballet dancers, magicians, singers, musicians);
• models (girls and boys);
• educators (with knowledge of English or French);
• trainers in fitness centers;
• programmers;
• civil aviation pilots;
• doctors, pharmaceutical specialists.

Without knowledge of the language

Despite the fact that Russian citizens who are fluent in Chinese or English have an obvious advantage in finding vacancies, working without knowing the language in China is also quite possible. We are talking, first of all, about those professions where the need for linguistic communication with local residents is limited or not required. These vacancies include:

• musicians, singers;
• dancers, circus artists;
• models;
• cooks;
• employees of branches of Russian companies.

In the service sector

For citizens with professional qualifications in the field of entertainment and related professions, China will certainly be very interesting. In this country, you can always find free vacancies to work as a fitness center trainer, orchestra musician, show ballet dancer. In addition, DJs in nightclubs, as well as professional photographers, are in demand in China.

In most cases, you need to look for such vacancies on your own, through forums, dating or social networks. It is also useful to regularly review the list of proposed work abroad on specialized sites.

Regarding such work in the service sector as a hostess or a model in a nightclub, these proposals should be approached very carefully. If a girl does not want to find herself in a foreign country in an ambiguous situation, when instead of working as a model she is offered to engage in an older profession, such proposals should be avoided. The only exceptions are proven employers who have a state license and provide a contract with clearly defined responsibilities.

In the field of catering

It is wrong to believe that in China, vacancies for girls from Russia and other CIS countries are represented only by dancers and models. It is easy to find a job as a cook or pastry chef in this country. And not necessarily in a Russian restaurant. Professionals are needed everywhere. In Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou, a huge number of a wide variety of European cuisine establishments are open. And if the job applicant has high professional skills, he can easily become a cook in a hot or cold shop with a monthly salary of $1,200.

Working professions

Since China has a huge labor force, looking for unskilled work in this country is hardly a good idea. A foreigner can only be helped by a diploma of a technical or construction university. Currently, finding a job as an engineer with a salary of $2,000 or more per month in China is easier than in most regions of the Russian Federation. Of course, this applies only to highly qualified specialists with extensive experience.

If we are talking about working specialties in the field of construction - welders, electricians, metro builders, then such vacancies must be sought in advance, while still in Russia<. Как правило, если китайская компания испытывает необходимость в иностранных специалистах, то она самостоятельно занимается поисками персонала. The salary level for skilled workers in China is from $1,000 per month.

teacher

As practice shows, the easiest way to find a job in China is as an English teacher. Those Russians who are fluent in the skills of teaching foreign languages ​​and have taken care of obtaining a certificate confirming this can easily count on a salary of $ 1,200. English teachers are in demand in private schools, language courses and kindergartens.

A Russian language teacher can also find a suitable job in their specialty. And not only as a teacher, but also as a translator. Do not forget that a significant part of the goods manufactured in China is then sent to Russia. Therefore, many Chinese manufacturers need technical translators for their products.

Pilot

Recently, Russia and other CIS countries have faced an unexpected problem: civil aviation specialists have begun to be lured to higher salaries in China, Vietnam and South Korea. The motives of the aviators are easy to understand. Working in China as a pilot of a passenger airliner is paid at the level of 10 thousand dollars a month. This amount is received by the commander of the ship, who speaks English and has permission to fly Boeing or Airbus aircraft. A co-pilot working for China Airlines can expect to earn as much as $5,000 with upside potential.

Given that these amounts exceed the wages that pilots receive in the CIS countries, many pilots are seriously considering the possibility of employment abroad.

Model

Models of European appearance are traditionally in demand in China. This does not only apply to girls. Working as a model for guys is also quite real. There are several large modeling agencies in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou that enter into annual or semi-annual contracts for shows, shooting for clothing catalogs, as well as for work at exhibitions.

In most cases, models are offered a piecework payment - for each exit to the podium or for a photo shoot. In some cases, an employer hires a model for a monthly salary of $1,500 to $2,000. As a rule, novice models agree to a monthly payment. Despite the fact that this option seems to be more stable, it has a significant drawback: the workload in this case can be several times higher than the amount offered for the same amount on a piecework basis.

Salaries by industry

Unlike Russia, where the minimum wage is valid throughout the country, it is set separately for each province. As of 2017, the monthly wage level of an employee must not be less than 1,500 yuan (13,600 rubles). However, this amount is applicable only in the outlying western provinces. In the developed industrial regions of the east and south of China the minimum wage ranges from 2,000 to 2,500 yuan (18,132 - 22,665 rubles).

The average level of wages by industry is:

• 2500-3500 dollars - specialists working in high-tech companies;
• 2000-2700 dollars - bank employees;
• 1000-1500 dollars - builders;
• 1000-1500 dollars - employees of wholesale and retail trade enterprises;
• 1000-1300 dollars - transport workers;
• 500-800 dollars - agricultural workers.

Features of an internship in China

Gaining work experience in China is very useful for a future career. First, a person improves his level of Chinese language proficiency. Secondly, he gains additional experience, which can later be used at a new workplace already in Russia. Thirdly, an additional line in the resume, indicating that the applicant for the vacancy had experience in China in his specialty, improves the chances of getting a high-paying position.

For undergraduate students, you can sign up for an internship in China through your educational institution. Many Russian universities have bilateral student exchange programs. If we are talking about a graduate student, then he will be able to enter a doctoral program at one of the universities of the PRC only if he is fluent in Chinese and after passing the qualifying exam.

Higher education graduates with no work experience can get an excellent opportunity to get an internship by signing up for an internship at one of the private enterprises. Current programs for attracting young professionals from abroad can be found on the Internet or by contacting the Chinese Embassy with a request. The duration of the internship can be from 3 to 12 months. During its passage, the trainee receives free housing and a salary in the equivalent of 300 to 700 dollars.

According to the rules in force in the PRC, students of the 4th or 5th year of study, as well as university graduates who completed their studies no later than two years before applying, can count on an internship.

Stages of official employment

The presence of a suitable vacancy in China does not yet guarantee official registration under the contract. The citizen will have to follow a certain procedure. It consists of the following steps:

• receiving an invitation from employers;
• collection of documents for the embassy;
• obtaining a work visa category Z;
• arrival in China;
• registration of a work book of a local sample;
• obtaining a residence permit (if the planned period of work exceeds the duration of the issued visa).

Applying for a work visa

For obtaining permission to enter China, Russian citizens must apply to the consulate that is closest to the official place of registration. Diplomatic missions of the People's Republic of China operate:

• in Moscow;
• in St. Petersburg;
• in Irkutsk;
• in Khabarovsk.

The cost of a Z1 / Z2 visa category (valid for more or less than 180 days) ranges from 4200 to 9900 rubles, depending on the urgency of registration. The exit corridor is 3 months. If a citizen was unable to cross the border within the specified period, the entry permit is cancelled.

List of documents

The list of certificates and certificates required for arrival in China is as follows:

• international passport, the validity of which is 2-3 months longer than the term of the requested visa;
• an application form of the established form (you can download it on the website of the Chinese Embassy in Moscow);
• three photos measuring 3.5 by 4.5 cm, taken no later than 6 months before the submission of documents;
• original invitation from a Chinese employer;
• original or copy of the employment contract;
• a photocopy of a diploma or certificate confirming the necessary professional skills;
• medical certificate confirming the absence of infectious and other dangerous diseases.

Requirements for the applicant

Despite the fact that in Chinese consulates the percentage of refusals to issue work visas for Russians is much less than in the diplomatic missions of a number of Western countries, this does not mean that permission to enter the PRC is issued automatically. Inconsistency of the documents with the requirements of the embassy or the emergence of doubts about the identity of the applicant may well lead to the fact that the requested visa will not be issued.

If a citizen of the Russian Federation in the submitted documents indicated that he was going to get a job with knowledge of the Chinese language, but could not provide a certificate confirming the language proficiency at the required level, this may be the reason for refusing to issue a visa. The same applies to those cases where the applicant did not attach to the list of documents a copy of the university diploma or a certificate of completion of training courses.

Is it possible to extend

To continue the validity of a work visa, a Russian citizen needs to contact the local Public Security Bureau (Chinese analogue of the migration service). This must be done no later than 30 days before the expiry date of the issued visa. An application for an extension is written on a special form, which can be obtained by contacting the Bureau.

Together with the application, the citizen must submit all the documents he has that were previously submitted for obtaining a visa. Particular attention should be paid to the employment contract. At the time of applying to the Public Security Bureau, it should already be extended.

How to organize your own business as an expat

China is a huge market. The presence in this country of almost one and a half billion people makes promising not only the import of products, but also its production. Of course, there are also disadvantages in the form of huge competition and cheap cost of goods made by local factories. However, many people are thinking about opening a business in China for Russians.

What is required to register your company in China? First you need to decide on the format of the future enterprise. You can register:

• company with foreign investments - WFOE (Wholly Foreign Owned Entity);
• joint venture.

You also need to choose in advance exactly where you want to open a company. For example, registering a company in Hong Kong and on the mainland of the PRC have differences in the taxation procedure. Despite the fact that Hong Kong has a significantly lower tax rate than the rest of China, business development here is limited by the high cost of rent and the level of staff salaries.

Having decided to open a business in China, a Russian citizen does not need to worry about poor knowledge of the Chinese language. The presence of a significant amount of investment will solve problems not only with a visa and company registration, but also with a residence permit.

Consequences for illegal immigrants

China is not a country where Russians seek to enter illegally. However, it is very easy to get the status of a violator of local migration laws here. To do this, it is enough to overstay a tourist or work visa. In addition, you can get deported from the PRC for trying to find a job without a permit.

The penalties for violating immigration laws in China are quite severe. Lack of registration or residence on an expired visa will result in a fine of 2,000 yuan (18,227 rubles) for a foreigner, followed by deportation. Illegal work in China increases the maximum fine from 5,000 to 10,000 yuan.
