Are you someone who has left their country of birth to move and settle somewhere else, or who is thinking of doing so in the future? What led you to take that decision, or what is making you consider it? What have your experiences been until now, and what do you expect and hope for in the future?
You don’t necessarily need a permanent resident status. I’m not sure post-covid, but foreigners that emigrated to China usually do that on a work visa that they could get renewed as often as they needed.
The difficult part would be getting a job as China’s workforce is rapidly becoming more educated, but they’re still looking for English teachers (although you need a diploma now, not like in the 90s where they would hire anybody off the streets lol) – it’s probably easier to get into private schools.
Permanent residence status usually opens you up to some more administrative leeway which China is careful about giving out, but compared to other countries, a visa in China will carry you a long way.
I think that’s great advice for individuals. I knew someone that taught English in China after graduating and he loved the experience.
If it were just me I would consider it, but I’m not sure if that would work for my partner as I don’t know if they would be able to provide accommodations for her disability or if it’s too much to deal with for a foreign worker. I’ve looked into teaching English in China before but not this particular aspect of it so I honestly don’t know. Though she has an English degree so she’s def qualified for teaching if they do accommodate.
In cayde6ml’s case, they said that they wanted to move with their grandparents. There’s an age limit for foreign workers (55?) so I don’t think they would be able to use this method.
Trying to relocate with a family, especially when not everyone is able-bodied and/or of working age, can be complicated.
And I know this may be idealism on my part but one reason I’m attracted to permanent residence is that I like the idea of living somewhere I can integrate into and call home. A work visa feels like I’m only visiting until I find somewhere else to drift to.
One of my ideas, even though its very unlikely, is to claim refugee/asylum status in China. Since Latinos and leftists are often persecuted in the U.S., and China might want to improve their PR image in accepting refugees from the barbaric shithole known as Amerikkka.
I’m at a loss for words. I’d also hope if I somehow got a job in China, I could bring my family as dependents.
I have a cocktail of mental disorders that prevent me from holding employment though. I’m not physically disabled and I’m not mentally handicapped, and I could still try to work if I could.
