I am looking at jobs in China, and some offers I am getting specifically say that they will not sponsor a work visa. Is that legal?

Also, some offers say they offer an F Visa. Wouldn't I be using a Z Visa?

If the school cannot procure a letter of invitation which enables you to secure your Z visa locally, it means that the school is not allowed to hire foreign experts to teach. Both you and the school may be subject to legal penalties.

Don't do it.

I agree wholeheartedly with the above.

No Z-visa? No go.

It's no good for you if a school is unwilling/unable to provide you with a Z-visa.

AVOID.

F-visa isn't what you want.

Warm regards,
