Hello everyone, I have a question about China Visa.

I have been offered for a position in Shanghai as a manager in hotel鈥檚 corporate level. However, the problem is I don鈥檛 have a degree. I have been reading all day about China Visa and some page said it doesn鈥檛 need if your company is willing to help + have a good relationship with the government but others said I need a degree + 2 years working experience.

I鈥檓 26 years old with 6 years experience in hospitality and I鈥檓 not sure if this works. This job that I鈥檓 going to get is my dream job but the obstacle I鈥檓 having now is the Degree. I haven鈥檛 talk with the HR in Shanghai yet about the requirements due to still waiting the update from my internal company to move forward the interview.

I know my questions have been asked by lots of people and general but I would like to know more about this.

Thank you!

Legally speaking, you'll need a degree. You may be able to get around it by opening a company and providing service to hotels, but that's not as easy as it sounds. Also, if your company is REALLY willing to take a lot of trouble and risk, and if they have an excellent relationship with the local government, it may be able to work in some smaller cities. It seems to me that the best option for you is to get a degree online. Good luck!

Hello, I am a professional visa agent with over 10 years experience. Yes, it is possible to obtain a work visa without a degree. It is going to be difficult but possible.

Hi Evy, please share more info, I'm a Qualified Electrician from South Africa and would like to practice my trade by finding a job in China or Hong Kong. Is this possible? I did see Hong Kong have a skilled certification for Engineering trade workers.
