Just accepted a teaching job in China?

In order to get a work permit in China as an English Teacher, you will need to authenticate the following documents.

  • University Degree
  • Criminal Records Check(Can be local, state, or FBI. If you are going to use your local city/county level Criminal Records Check, please send a scan copy to your Prospective Employer first, to make sure it meets the requirements. Some local police checks do not meet the requirements for the work permit.)
  • 120 Hour TEFL Certificate(120 Hour TESOL, CELTA, Teaching License or BA/MA Education can substitute for the TEFL Certificate)

Monument Visa has partnered with Pioneer Beyond to give Pioneer Beyond Recruits a special rate for authenticating your documents.
