Thanks everybody..
Eventually I managed to get an extension on my working visa, which made it possible for me to get here once the academic semester was over and still have time to apply for the X visa... Guess I shouldn't have panicked :)
It's because of some new regulation that was enacted recently. I tried and buy a China Mobile SIM card at the big shop in 百汇商场, they said I'd need to get a Chinese friend to let me use their ID if I wanted one. You can't apply using your passport anymore.. Then I went to China Unicom and I got one right away no questions asked. ;)
Hi everybody,
Quick question: I am currently working in Anhui and looking to move to Kunming in early January to improve my Chinese .
I've only contacted one school so far and the guy in charge of helping students applying for X visas told me the documentation I need to provide should include my current contract (fair enough) and that I would need to turn up at the PSB (公安局) in Kunming for an 'interview'come December, if my understanding is right all of this is just so I can give the police officer on duty my word that I will not engage in part-time work.. Now, nevermind the fact that it would be a monumental inconvenience, I don't think I would be able to ask for leave.
Surely there's got to be a more sensible alternative, but then again this is China, so..
Could someone help me shed some light on this?
Juli_an,
truth be told I hadn't considered this aspect.
I was just assuming that once I was able to provide them with the school's website (assuming it was a language school) and an email address, then they would take care of the rest and contact them to double check.
I have no idea how they go about assessing applications, nor am I 100% sure of what counts as a proof..
one thing that I'm sure of, though, is that despite this requirement being set out by Cambridge itself, of all the providers that run this course not two of them seem to state the same exact number of hours.. some of them say 1000, some 1200, some one year, some two years of teaching full-time..
In fact the reason why some of them are more anal than others about this seems to be (so I've been told by my former CELTA tutor) that they just want to be sure you are thoroughly prepared to embark on the course, so that u don't end up failing the course and they can keep
their pass figures high. In that respect things seem to be way more flexible than otherwise stated.
But thanks Juli_an, this is food for thought. Guess I should just contact them and ask to be sure
