The bureaucracy and disorganisation of Chinese authorities make ita painfully slow process, but if you and the company you work for are legitimate then there are no excuses for being illegal.

With the removal of the unqualified and/or illegal teachers, those of us that have all the correct and legal credentials could find jobs easier. I am definitely all for it!

Many (possibly most) teachers without proper visas are, in fact, properly certified, but they are unable to obtain the proper visa because of the school's lack of proper licensing. The licensing process is extremely difficult to complete and completely impossible without participating in the rampant corruption and bribery that exists in the Chinese bureaucratic system.

US H1B was even more complicated and u looked down upon Chinese immigrants then did anyone of you bother to protest against ur govt to make it easier for them then :) China is still relatively much much softer on illegal workers than USA Funny to see how people are complaining about visa being tough to get and complicated.

However, the really dirty part of the English teaching business in China is in the administration of the English schools. Do an article on that or are you only interested in making foreigners look bad? Certainly teachers should be certified.

It would make much more sense that they allow you to apply directly for the visa yourself without the school or that they make it much simpler for schools to register foreigners. I for one would have no problem paying tax and so on if it meant I could work here easier and without fear of the PSB come knocking.

You would probably go to South Korea or Japan. I’m all for it, but let’s face it. If you were a qualified teacher, than you probably wouldn’t go to China.
