Notice about Legalization at the Chinese Embassy

On 8 March 2023, China acceded to the Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, which entered into force in Nov. 7, 2023.

From 7 November 2023, if you want to use some papers and documents as referred to in the Convention from Jamaica, Belize or Cayman Island in the Chinese Mainland, you may only have to apostille the papers and documents instead of applying for legalization by Chinese Embassy in Jamaica.

Notice about Application for Notarization

Chinese citizens want to use the public documents as referred to in the Convention in Jamaica, Belize or Cayman Island don't need to apply for the legalization by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China and Jamaican or UK Embassy and Consulates in China. Instead, they should get their documents apostilled.

Please contact Embassy of Jamaica in China if Jamaicans are in problems there.

Questions & Answers on Chinese Embasy in Jamaica

Asked by Terese Heron from JAMAICA | Dec. 28, 2023 07:06

Documents for Authentication -Work in China

Good Morning,

I am currently seeking a teaching position in China; however, I was informed that in doing so there are some documents that must be authenticated by the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs before taken to the Chinese Embassy (Jamaica).

As such, kindly provide the list of documents and the number of copies to be authenticated along with any other document that should be submitted. Additionally, mention was also made to an application form to be completed, however I am not sure as to where I could retrieve this particular form for completion.

I would appreciate any information and directions/directive you may provide regarding the above. Thank you in Advance.

The work permit is in fact offered by your employer so it is better to confirm these details with them.

If you are still in China, you can renew it in the local entry and exit administration bureau. However, if you have been back to your country, then you need to apply for a new visa. If your current visa is still valid, do not apply yet because one cannot hold two China visas at the same time.

You will first need to get a job offer and then apply for a work visa. After you arrive in China, you can find a school and study there during your spare time.
