RAY English | Find your English teaching job in China

As we all know, in order for foreigners to legally work in China (in any profession, not just language teaching), they will need a Z-visa.  Z-visas are legal permits stuck in your passport which give you permission to work with a language company or state school here in China. Only language schools and state schools licenced by the SAFEA (State Administration of Foreign Expert Affairs) are allowed to hire foreign teachers, and this licence is no easy thing to apply for. Schools less than 12 months old are not permitted to apply.
