If ever you wished you were an expert, this might well be your best chance at legally being called one. This is a certificate given to most foreigners who are working as teacher in the PRC (Foreign expert or not). This can give you discounts on hotels and entrance fees to tourist attractions. The idea is that you pay the same price as Chinese people.
Note: Not all hotels give discounts for the foreign expert’s card, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.
How to apply for a Foreign Expert Card
- collect the following documents
- get an introduction letter from you school nominating you as a foreign expert.
- a copy of your contract
- a copy of your Z-Visa found in your passport
- 2 personal photos
- Submit this to the local PSB (Public Security Bureau) and they will issue you a certificate. This certificate is valid for one year at most. If you change places of work you will need to change your Foreign Expert Card.

“I had been teaching ESL in Europe and Asia for four years when I contacted Footprints. Before I found Footprints, I was independently searching for a position in Seoul and I was extremely hesitant to pursue any of the contracts that I was offered. The schools and other recruiting firms that I came into contact with were offering contracts with suspicious clauses and inadequate housing. I knew that Ben and Jeff ran a professional service as soon as I spoke to them on the phone. I have since completed my one year contract in Seoul and can honestly say that everything went well from beginning to end. Although Korea is not always the easiest place to live, Footprints makes the transition so much smoother. Footprints is upfront, honest and dependable. I would highly recommend their service for anyone considering teaching abroad and would not hesitate to re-sign with Footprints in the future.”
