Schools usually employ foreign teachers with the
approval of the government foreign expert department(or the office of foreign
affairs).

certificates, and temporary residence or temporary residence permits.
Some
employers, especially private training schools, classify foreign teacher as
"labor", to the procurement of working papers and residence permits.

Before entering China,
normally, request foreign teacher to apply for work visa(z-visa).
However,
some foreigner choose to arrive with a tourist visa and then apply for a work
visa. Confirm with your employer that the school meets specifications for
engaging foreigners. The best way to do this is to get in touch with their
current and/or former teachers.
