Foreign Expert Status and Foreign Expert Cards

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

  1. 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
  2. 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.
