No More Visa Agency In China? Fake News!

Recently, you may have heard the news about the Chinese government to ban visa agencies. Since then, many expats in China are worried about how to deal with the work visa and residence permit after that.  © Image | GOOGLE Actually, you don’t need to worry too much because the article you read before may be a clickbait! Official Notice from the Gov. © Image | 国家移民管理局 Translation of the notice above According to the “Notice on Promoting the Implementation of the Separation of Business Licenses and Permits” issued by the State Council on September 27, 2018, the qualifications for private entry and exit intermediaries (excluding overseas employment) will be revoked in October 2018. 1. Qualification to stop entry and exit agencies for private purposes Since November 10, 2018, the entry and exit administration departments of public security organs will stop accepting applications for private entry and exit intermediaries (excluding overseas employment) and will stop issuing business licenses for private entry and exit agencies (hereinafter referred to as “business licenses”). The business license issued at the same time will automatically become invalid. 2. Clean up the business license From November 10 – 30, 2018, the exit and entry administration departments of the public security organs of various localities shall take back the original business licenses, file them, and destroy the blank business licenses. 3. Return the reserve fund The exit and entry administration department of the public security organ shall complete the work of returning the reserve fund to the intermediary agency by November 30, 2018. Correct understanding should be… After the communication and confirmation with the China Immigration Bureau, the correct understanding should be as follows: This agency permit is mainly about Chinese people going abroad or Chinese immigration abroad, not involving foreigners coming to China, working in China or immigrating to China. According to the notice, the bureau will stop the permit application from November 10, 2018, and all previously issued licenses will be invalid automatically. It means that every company can engage in Chinese immigration without a license (before this business is limited). How’ll new regulations affect you? The new regulations will further open up the private immigration services market because they can operate legally without the need for relevant qualifications. Therefore, there may be many small-scale agents, and it is important for you to choose a good service provider wisely. © Image | GOOGLE Since the new regulations specifically focus on the “migration services for Chinese people”, it will not have any major impact on foreigners working in China.

Summer Camp Boom In China: Business or Education?

Currently, summer camps are very popular among young children of middle-class families in China and it is estimated that the annual income of the summer camp will exceed 20 to 30 billion yuan, with the market expected to reach 400 billion yuan in the next 5 to 10 years, China Newsweek reported on August 20. © Image | People’s Daily Online The background of summer camp Summer camps are an excellent way for students to spend their summer holidays and help working parents find something for their children to do in western countries. However, such activities have recently been promoted as an important event in China, with summer camps being deemed a must-do for every child. © Image | Google Outdoor activities have gradually expanded from enterprises to primary and middle schools after quality-oriented education was rolled out across China since the year 2000. Until 2009, the summer camps popular among Chinese students were channeled into three categories, learning, physical and mental training and study-touring. Promoting study tours In Dec 2016, the Ministry of Education and 10 other ministries jointly released a statement promoting study tours for primary and secondary school students, and the industry quickly took off. © Image | Google Mrs Wang, a mother of three who has lived in the U.S. for over 10 years, said that many summer camp organizers from abroad have spoken out about such factors as anxious Chinese parents’ stronger spending power and the mentality of blindly following any after-school education such as camp education. However, Wang explained that the facilities in domestic camps have now surpassed those in the U.S. Summer camp is just one of the options for American students deciding how to spend their summer holidays. © Image | Google According to 2013 American Camp Association data, about 14 million people in the United States, both parents and children, participate in summer camps every year , indicating that summer camp students accounted for less than one-third of all school-age children that year. Reward excellent students China started to reward excellent students by sending them on excursions to the then Soviet Union in the early 1950s, marking the start of Chinese summer camps. In the eyes of the older generation, summer camps are still only for a small number of top students, but today, it seems more like good business, available to all. © Image | Google China is the wild west of the teaching world, if you want to do business in China, the summer camp teacher is also a good choice!
