Question 5863
my son who is 20 has been offered a job teaching english in Chaoglang in beijing he has been sent a contract to sign but after doing more reasearch he does not qualify for a working z visa because he does not have a degree and has not done a TEFL course he is a native english speaker. I sounds like the work being offered would be on a tourist visa as he would not qualify otherwise. Do you think this job offer may be a scam?

It's not uncommon for job offers in China to be on a tourist visa if the applicant doesn't meet the requirements for a working Z visa. In your son's case, not having a degree and a TEFL course may be a concern. However, it's essential to note that some countries, like South Korea, may not require a degree for teaching English.
Considering the job market for English teachers in China can be competitive, and the process of obtaining a work visa can take several weeks to several months, it's crucial to carefully review the specific requirements and guidelines for the work visa of the country in question. It's also recommended to start the application process as early as possible to allow for any potential delays or complications.
