Many people have the idea of going abroad, but there are very few people who go abroad in the end, because there is a threshold for going abroad, the visa language is an obstacle, and there are few people who really go abroad.
In the past year or so, we have seen many people go to the United States for a certain reason, a certain melon, a good look, etc., some of which are from first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou.
They first took a plane from China to Ecuador, and then walked north from Ecuador, through Panama, Mexico and other countries to the United States.
Why did they go to the United States? It's because the United States is wealthy, with high wages and many job opportunities. Why don't they fly to the United States? It was because I couldn't get a visa to the United States, so I had to work hard to smuggle myself to the United States.
Therefore, if you want to go abroad, the country you go to allows you to go, China has achieved mutual visa exemption with 23 countries, and you don't need a visa to go to these 23 countries, just buy a ticket. Why did they choose to travel from Ecuador to the United States? Because Ecuador is the closest country to the United States that is visa-free for Chinese, you do not need a visa to go to Ecuador.
So, when you go abroad, the first is to be able to find a job in that country, the second is to be able to get a visa, and the third is to be able to communicate in the language.
Specific to Indonesia, first of all, job opportunities, Indonesia's per capita GDP is less than 5,000 US dollars, 40% of China, most people's monthly salary income is only 1,000 to 5,000 yuan, few job opportunities, low wages, Chinese in Indonesia is definitely not good.
Chinese in Indonesia are mainly two parts, first of all, employees working in various Chinese-funded companies in Indonesia, which is about 40,000 people, and Indonesia's infrastructure, whether it is roads and bridges, or airports, power plants and ports, is mainly built by Chinese companies, which employ a large number of Chinese employees.
There is also the manufacturing industry, with China's de-capacity, a large number of factories have opened factories in Indonesia, and the main technical personnel and management personnel are from China. A large number of Chinese were employed.
The other part is small businesses and small bosses, who go to Indonesia to do business, open restaurants, open supermarkets, do tourism, and do agriculture. There are more than 20,000 people in this part.
So you come to Indonesia either to get the company's ofer, to work in a Chinese company, or to invest in Indonesia to do business.
The second is visa, Chinese to apply for Indonesian visa is relatively simple, as long as you submit a scanned copy of the passport homepage to the Indonesian embassy in China (or consulates in Guangzhou, Shanghai and other consulates), one inch bareheaded electronic **, you can get a visa in a week.
A tourist visa can stay in Indonesia for one month, which can be extended once for one month, and the cost is about 500 yuan.
The business visa can stay in Indonesia for 2 months, can be extended 2 times, and can be extended for 2 months each time, and the cost is about 3000 yuan.
You can stay in Indonesia for 1 year with a work visa, and with a work visa, you can work in Indonesia at a cost of about 30,000 yuan.
It should be noted that countries around the world are protective of their own labor force, and it will be difficult to get a work visa. In China, so many foreign teachers teach foreign languages in kindergartens and training institutions, which is actually illegal, because they are all holding tourist visas, and it is very difficult to get a work visa in China.
It is very good to be able to get a work visa in Indonesia and work in Indonesia legally, and the cost of 30,000 yuan is a little expensive, but it is normal.
Finally, when you go abroad, the biggest problem you face is the language barrier, although there are many Chinese in Indonesia, but 99% of them do not know Chinese Mandarin, and only a few people can speak Teochew Hakka. In Indonesia, communication mainly relies on English, and Indonesians have a mediocre level of education, and language communication is mainly to find university graduates who can speak English. Similar to China in the 2000s, not many people were fluent in English.
This is in stark contrast to neighbouring Malaysia, where English is generally very good, and most Malay Chinese have attended Chinese schools since childhood, and most of them speak Mandarin.
There are always two sides to things, and the more inconvenient you feel, the fewer people you will go to and the more opportunities you will have. As far as language is concerned, in fact, it is much better now than before, in the past, many Chinese went abroad, language communication mainly with the help of electronic dictionaries, a lot of trouble, communication is not smooth. Now with the just-in-time translation tool, the whole sentence can be translated, and the conditions are much better.
It should be noted that the biggest problem with going abroad has always been the determination, not the language, visa, and job opportunities. Look at those people who come to the United States, don't know foreign languages, don't have visas, no job opportunities, haven't they also trekked through mountains and rivers, and have passed a lot of hardships? Why did they go there? To put it bluntly, I want to get rich.
Therefore, the biggest motivation to go abroad is actually the dream of making a fortune, because the development in China is average, and I want to change the environment and change my fate.
