又到毕业季，许多外籍留学生毕业后想要留在中国工作，那么他们的学生签证可以直接转成工作签证吗?我们都知道，外国人在中国工作，必须办理中国的工作签证，其最基本的条件就是学士学位及以上的学位+2年及以上的相关工作经历。那么，刚毕业的外国留学生，没有2年的相关工作经验，能否办理中国的工作签证?能否直接用学生签证转成工作签证?

In the graduation season, many foreign students want to work in China after graduation. Can their student visa be converted to work visa directly? As we all know, foreigners working in China must apply for a China work visa. The most basic condition is a bachelor's degree or above + 2 years of relevant work experience. So, newly graduated foreign students, without 2 years of relevant work experience, can they apply for a China work visa？Can they convert their student visa to work visa directly?

答案是：可以!

The answer is yes!

学生签证（学习签）&工作签证

根据外国人来华工作分类标准，符合外国人来华工作指导目录和岗位需要，属于中国经济社会事业发展急需的外国专业人才，符合条件之一的，确认为B类。

According to the classification standard of foreigners' work in China, Foreign professional talents who meet the requirements of the work guidance catalogue and posts for foreigners to come to China and are in urgent need of China's economic and social development are recognized as category B.

B类判定第一条：具有学士及以上学位和2年及以上相关工作经历的外国专业人才。

Category B Judgment Criteria 1: Foreign professional talents with a bachelor's degree or above and 2 years or more related work experience.

B类判定第三条：外国语言教学人员。外国语言教学人员原则上应从事其母语国母语教学，并取得大学学士及以上学位且具有 2 年以上语言教育工作经历。其中，取得教育类、语言类或师范类学士及以上学位的，或取得所在国教师资格证书或取得符合要求的国际语言教学证书(TEFL in China 120 hours)的，可免除工作经历要求。

Category B Judgment Criteria 3: Foreign language teaching staff. Foreign language teaching staff should, in principle, engage in the teaching of their mother tongue in their native language, have a bachelor's degree or higher, and have more than 2 years of language education work experience. Among them, those who have obtained a bachelor's degree or above in education, language or teaching, or obtained the teacher qualification certificate of the country, or obtained the international language teaching certificate that meets the requirements(TEFL in China 120 hours), may be exempt from the work experience requirements.

根据外国人来华工作分类标准，满足国内劳动力市场需求，符合国家政策规定的其他外国人员，确定为 C 类。

According to the classification criteria for foreigners' work in China, other foreign personnel meeting the needs of the domestic labor market and in line with the provisions of state policies are classified as category C.

C类判定第三条：实施配额制管理的人员，符合规定条件的外国留学生和境外高校外籍毕业生等。(以深圳为例，近2年内毕业于国外世界知名大学和近2年内毕业于国内大学的应届毕业生)

Category C Judgment Criteria 3: foreign students and foreign graduates of overseas universities who meet the specified conditions, etc.(take Shenzhen as an example, Graduated from a world-known foreign university in the past two years as well as Graduated from a domestic university within the past two years)

以上是国家的政策条文，我们可以解读出，外国应届毕业生没有2年相关工作经历，也是一样可以来华申请工作签证的。各地政策大同小异，以深圳为例，在国内高等院校毕业的外国应届毕业生是可以直接申请外国人来华工作许可的。

The above is the national policy. We can understand that foreign graduates do not have 2 years of relevant work experience, and they can also apply for a work visa in China. Local policies are similar and slightly different. In Shenzhen, for example, foreign graduates who have graduated from domestic universities within two years can directly apply for work permits in China. 

那么，学生签证怎么转成工作签证呢？外国应届毕业生应该如何申请中国工作签证呢?第一步肯定是必须要先找到用人单位，方可开始办理申请外国人来华工作许可，然后完成后续的合法手续。

当然，用人单位的基本条件是，依法设立，有实际经营场所、依法纳税、缴纳社会保险、无严重违法失信记录; 聘用外国人从事的岗位应是有特殊需要，国内暂缺适当人选，且不违反国家有关规定的岗位; 支付所聘用外国人的工资、薪金不得低于当地最低工资标准 (10467.7元/月)。

So, how to convert a student visa into work visa? and how should foreign graduates apply for a work visa? The first step is to find an employing company first, then can start to apply for the work permit for foreigners, and then complete the following legally procedures. 

Of course, the basic conditions for an employer are, Employers shall be established by law with actual business premises, pay taxes and social insurances according to law, without serious illegal and dishonest acts; the employment of foreigners shall be for special needs and the appropriate candidates are in short supply domestically in China; the salary or remuneration for those foreigners shall not be lower than the local minimum wage (10467.7RMB/month).

至于在申请材料方面，毕业生需要提供的会有点不一样，不过大体上都是一样的，都是需要做体检的。综上所述，学生签证是可以直接换成工作签证的哦，具体如何办理，欢迎随时咨询我们。

As for the application materials, foreign graduates will be needed to provide a little different, but in general are the same, they also need to do the physical examination. As above, student visa can convert to work visa directly, how to deal with it? You are welcome to consult us at any time.
