Finding information regarding eligibility for a Z Visa/Residence Permit is like a needle in a haystack, so I registered here to get some help on the matter from people who have recently been through the process.

Firstly, is a degree required to get them, I've been told on about 50% of job advertisements that it isn't, then I see people here saying it is required to work legally... what's the truth here? Then people also say being Native English from UK/US/AUS the degree part doesn't matter with a good TESOL qualification and of course good English ability?

One more thing, what is it like to "renew" if that's even possible Z Visa/Residence Permit, or do you have to go back to your home country and do the process again?

Thanks, I'm currently an ESL newbie

Soometimes it is and sometimes it isnt.. turth is no one can tell you for 100% certain what you will encounter and what is the best method by which to come...I came on an L and converted and am I ever glad I did..that is not to say you will have the same exp...others like to advise coming on an Z claiming it is the only legal way, which I cannot agree with ...but then again I use an attorney and live in Beijing...location will dictate many of the events and the requirements as to what can be accomplished ...,I currently wok with a young man who has no BA....makes a good wage and has the FEC and RP based on the Z visa which they gave him in his native Aussie....he is younger than 24....

Very little is absolute in this country.

It depends on your school's relations. Ask your employer. Sometimes they lie, sometimes they don't. Sniff around a bit.
Post whatever comes up here so that people can help you make a good judgement.
