I dont understand the system can you help me. Am I able to get FWP (Foreign working Permit) Im thinking of immigrating and being a Foreign Maid either for 'Ayi ' Company I am native speaker of English and speak some Chinese not conversational yet but more than basic if you understand ( I am not Chinese). Whats Beijing like for Foreign Ayi (maid)? How much would someone like me from a Western country likely be paid in Shanghai ie. outside centre in city centre?

Hi, there

Yes, the Foreigner's Work Permit does include foreign maids. For an idea of what Beijing is like for foreigners, why don't you take a look at our guide on Moving to Beijing.

You should research the average pay for ayis in Beijing. When it comes to working for expats, the fact that English is your first language may be in your favour.
