What Type is Visa Is ideal For Your Program?

The most important question to ask before applying to an internship program in China is “what visa the internship provider will offer you“. There are many programs out there offering the wrong type of visa to Interns who wish to intern in China. There are chances you will be caught. Always note the Business Visa (M and F Types) and Tourist Visa are NEVER an option, do not accept these visas for an internship in China. Most Platforms choose to use these kind of visas because it does not cost them anything. Always insist to be given a Student Visa (Category X). It will cost the agency some money to secure the right documents for the X visa. Your Program Fee needs to be used properly for your safety. You will be paying program fees and these fees need to be invested properly.

What to look out for (red flags)

There are possible red flags to getting you know what the Program provider will provide you

  • If they will send your visa documents through email – The right internship visa requires original documents which means they have to be delivered through the registered mail (DHL or FedEx) rather than an email for you to print out. This is an indication they are offering you an illegal visa.
  • Your Program Coordinator tells you the Host Company will provide you Visa invitation document – Note that Companies CANNOT provide an internship visa for you. With this arrangement, you are rather being arranged for a Business Visa and this is a big red flag
  • They send you an invitation letter through email including a scanned Copy of an ID card of a Chinese Citizen:- This is an indication you are getting a tourist visa and you should reject it outright.

 

Always Insist on the Right Visa

Don’t compromise on the kind of Visa you are being offered for an internship in China as it may get you into trouble. Your experience is vital as well as your records in China. These requirements are vital and we don’t take it for granted. Though it costs money to provide these visas, we believe we need to invest program fees properly to guarantee the comfort of our interns

What Documents are Required for an Internship Visa

On arrival, you should visit to the Public SafBureauxaeux to complete your registration and officially qualify to intern in China.
