Preparing Documents to Teach English In China| My Journey to China| Emily Boitumelo
*NB Information*
Hey guys. Here’s some information on documents you’d need to prepare if you’re considering applying for a teaching job in China. I hope this helps.
Thank you for watching. ❤️
PCC: www.saps.gov.za/services/appl...
Degree verification SAQA: www.saqa.org.za
Teach TEFL DADDY'S DEALS: daddysdeals.co.za/deals/johan...
The procedure to prepare documents for teaching in China as follows:
1. Apply for police clearance R150 (takes about 2 to 3 months). So apply well in advance.
2. Mail degree to SAQA for authetication and wait for them to respond for payment and collection.
3. Notarise Tefl certificate at Notary Public (fee differs from R50 to R1500, so use one that is not expensive) and appostille it at High Court.
4. Take Degree, TEFL and PCC to DIRCO who authenticate all documents for work abroad (free, fetch next day. More than 5 documents take 4 working days)
5.Medical exam with passport photo needs to be done for most schools (others might ask you to sign a letter to state you are well) as you will have to do again in China.
6. Take all documents, including medical and copy of each page to Chinese Consulate for authentification of documents for work in China(4 days is free)
7. Scan all docs including seal on last page and send to School with signed job offer (most schools require docs to be mailed as per requirement, most tier 1 cities will ask that original documents be posted.
8. Invitation letter can take one week to 2 months. Take passport, invitation letter and passport photos to visa office(embassy R860, 4 to 6 working days depending on which one you use)
9. Fetch visa and pay now only.
10. Book flight and enjoy the experience.
Take other passport photos with as you will need them in China.

Yes. Get your documents ready while you’re still looking so that when you get an offer you don’t have to start from the beginning. Most companies look for people who have their documents ready and are ready to go.
Thank you, thank you.
Anyone know how the heck a person knows if SAQA is sill alive. I've sent them an email like 2 weeks ago and....nothing. I've got no idea what's going on
Bbe do you have to wait to get your certificate, they don't accept completion letter?
Also is it true that you can only apply to one school and not more
absen sukses selalu semangat good
Hey Emily. So you didn’t have a police clearance when you applied ? I thought we should have all documents before we can start with the application process

I wasn’t actively applying for the job so I only started getting the documents ready after I was offered the job. Yes, the normal process is that you get the documents ready as you’re applying
Any recommended schoool, agencies or recruiters that pay good money and don't mistreat people
morning I mistakenly laminated my original degree will that limit my visa approval at the Chinese consulate or embassy?

If you thought this process is a nightmare try now...These days SAQA and DIRCO are non responsive...They've been working from home ever since and that has created a serious backlog

hey Emily, what about the medical examination?
@emilyboitumelo
2 жыл бұрын
It depends on the school you’re going to. I only did my medical examination when I got to China. Others require you to do it in SA and again in China
I think the only reason I haven't looked for a job abroad is because of the process
