You do realise that wherever you want to 'apply' for a PRC D/L that you are required to be registered as living there with the proper PSB office, and have the temporary residence print out/slip of paper (required to be updated each year). So you can't just be living in Zibo and use that residence and go apply directly with SH Traffic Management Bureau.
The issue about employment visa depend entirely on what purpose/employment you are seeking. The issue concerning nationality might have some relevancy or be more aligned with what foreign expert certificate you are meant (required) to apply for.

Honestly there is no enjoyable riding weather until March, in fact it's often downright dangerous uncomfortably cold and icy until March. If you want to get around the city a mountain bike is best until then, bigger knobbly tires.
Unless one is residing/riding further South...

+1 on the visa. Though might be better to get a different employer.

For a teaching residency visa in Zibo you'll need two or maybe three of the following.....
-Be a 'foreigner'
-White skin
-from a native English speaking country
-university degree
-1 years experience
That's not the official policy. :icon10:
A REAL legally obtained university degree and not some fake, fabricated or diploma mill shiet (does a complete disservice and worse to those of us who have slaved away to gain legal/accredited and recognised degrees and credentials... just sayin...
+1 on the rest... depending on the 'type' of teaching though...
Re: Hello from Toronto, Canada
Don't worry NZ, Zibo is very different place to Ningbo, where bikerdoc is from. Many teachers in Zibo and smaller 3rd tier cities aren't fully qualified, and that's because the rules are laid down central government and in such places as SH and BJ the money paid to foreign teachers mean the standards of teaching need to be higher. Most schools in Zibo are happy to have pronunciation teachers that work hard and look the part, often the teachers are monitored and the students and parents are quite happy to complain when unsatisfied. Problems arise when they employ people on illegal 'visitor' visas, because it puts you unfairly at risk.
In Chinese law foreign nationals must have a University degree to be a teacher and have a resident permit, however in this area if there wasn't a 'workaround' there would be an insufficient number of foreign teachers to meet demand which cause an inflationary pressure on wages, which the schools don't want. So basically if you can find a new employer who is properly connected you can get a residency visa. And this are is considered 'quite strict' by provincial standards! Another city not far away you can just buy a 1 year residency visa for 5000 yuan, no questions asked. http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/im...odern/lol8.gif
