It is 100% illegal to work for a high-school if you do not have you visa from them directly,

You can call the F.E.B. and ask them. I know because i have gone there in person and it is illegal also the PSB said it is illegal too.

A contract with the school does not change the law, do not eat shiit form Chinese criminals the F.E.B. is there to help you

do not risk being deported

If you give your name to the PSP they have to investigate the case and give you feed back

You can also sue within 2 years and sue them all if they take bribes and lie to you saying it is legal

That's because Chongqing is the only municipality in China where Meten is legally authorized to apply for foreign employment permits. I know someone working at the labor bureau in Shenzhen, Meten has no license to hire foreigners in that city, just like every other cities where they are beside Chongqing. It's not that difficult to obtain a licence, unless you have no guanxi, and I think Meten has very little since there are regular raids from the police to check them and also since all the other big language mills have licenses in most cities where they have branches.

Who wants to work for Meten anyway? They ask as many hours while paying much less than the other language mills. It's a Chinese company which means Chinese management and Chinese curriculum, or lack there of.

You can get your visa canceled refuse to work there and claim one months salary as
compensation also they cannot cancel your visa

Not really like that man, but in some cases, they would be able to get even more than that. For real.

Don't know s[edited] about the visas. That would relate to a completely different kinda law and some backwards s[edited] part of China such as Jiangxi or Xinjiang may not do things by the book either, slip them dirty [edited] a few dollars here and there and anything's legal.

I don't think it is just those high schools that a teacher for a training center can't work for. Any kind of part time work is kinda illegal, although most colleges don't give a f[edited]. I wouldn't take a risk on them side jobs when you're working at a training center, those jealous bitches would snitch on your [edited] straight away.

There's a post on Dave's ESL about Shenzhen guys getting visas in Chongqing or some [edited]. I thought it was impossible to not be given a damn visa in Chongqing, that's why all them s[edited] little private schools send their teachers there soon as HK tightened their [edited] up.
