Is anyone here a migrant, or thinking of becoming one? (lemmygrad.ml)

Are you someone who has left their country of birth to move and settle somewhere else, or who is thinking of doing so in the future? What led you to take that decision, or what is making you consider it? What have your experiences been until now, and what do you expect and hope for in the future?

You don't necessarily need a permanent resident status. I'm not sure post-covid, but foreigners that emigrated to China usually do that on a work visa that they could get renewed as often as they needed.

The difficult part would be getting a job as China's workforce is rapidly becoming more educated, but they're still looking for English teachers (although you need a diploma now, not like in the 90s where they would hire anybody off the streets lol) -- it's probably easier to get into private schools.

Permanent residence status usually opens you up to some more administrative leeway which China is careful about giving out, but compared to other countries, a visa in China will carry you a long way.
