Whether you are a student or a young professional, an internship in China offers you the opportunity to acquire valuable skills in a dynamic and international environment. At Sina Careers, we offer paid internships in China, allowing you to gain professional experience while being financially supported. In this article, we will explore how to find an internship in China, the necessary steps to obtain a visa, and practical tips for making the most of your experience.

Finding an Internship in China

The first step to interning in China is to find an internship that aligns with your professional aspirations. There are numerous internship opportunities in China across various sectors, including international business, technology, and marketing. To maximize your chances, consider working with an agency like Sina Careers that specializes in finding internships in China. In our case, we focus on internships in the hospitality sector in China.

Paid Internships with Sina Careers

With Sina Careers, interns receive a stipend of 3000 CNY, which is approximately 386 euros per month. This compensation is competitive and comparable to some salaries in China, allowing interns to live comfortably during their stay. Additionally, accommodation is provided by the hotel. Depending on the establishment, you may have the option to stay in a private room, dormitory, or in apartments offered by the hotel.

Meals Included

Another significant advantage of interning with Sina Careers is that all three meals of the day are covered. This allows you to focus on your internship without worrying about food expenses while discovering the delicious Chinese cuisine.

Visa for an Internship in China

To intern in China, you will need a student visa. Sina Careers simplifies this process by offering two packages that include the X2 student visa, valid for 180 days (or 6 months), which corresponds to the duration of our internships, typically ranging from 5.5 to 6 months. In addition to the visa, we provide health and accident insurance that covers the entire duration of your internship, both at your workplace and outside. Here are the steps to apply for an internship visa in China:

Obtain an offer letter from the company that will host you.
Prepare the necessary documents, including your passport, ID photos, and proof of your status as a student or young professional. We will also send you any additional documents you may need for the visa center.
Apply for a visa at the visa center in Paris or Marseille, France. This may vary depending on your country of origin.

It is crucial to understand how to obtain a visa for an internship in China to avoid complications. But don’t worry, we will be there to guide you through all the steps.

Budgeting for Your Study in China

Another aspect to consider is your budget for studying in China. In addition to visa fees, think about your internship budget to cover your daily expenses.
