Every June and July is the graduation season in China, congratulations to all the graduates

欣喜之余，可能也有很多同学免不住要担忧了，毕业了也就意味着学生签证就要过期了！对于很多外国留学生来说，如想要毕业后继续留在中国，就需要申请来华工作签证和来华工作许可。

Along with joys, some graduates might unavoidably fall into worries. Why? Because their student visas will be valid after graduation! For many foreign students, if they want to stay in China after graduation, a Chinese work visa and a work permit are needed.

但想要在华就业，可不是件简单事儿，光是找到一个满意的东家可是远远不够的哦。你还需要成功申请到外国人来华就业许可，才可以在中国合法就业，否则会被认定为非法就业处以罚款或拘留。

So, for a foreigner, working in China is not an easy thing. Apart from finding a suitable employer, you also need to obtain a Chinese work permit, otherwise, you will be deemed as conducting illegal employment and will be fined or detained.

好消息来啦！外专局发布消息，只要外籍留学生在中国境内高校取得了硕士及以上学位，且毕业未满一年，则无需提供毕业后两年的工作经历证明也可以申请外国人来华就业许可！
