# Are there certain deadlines for the programs in China?

For **hospitality jobs**, hotels recruit throughout the year, and there are no application deadlines. As approximately one month is needed to place you with a hotel and obtain the necessary documents for the visa application from China, and three months to process the visa, a lead time of 4 months is required before you can start the job.

For **teaching jobs**, intake occurs only in February and September. You should contact us no later than 4 months prior to these start dates, which means by mid-October for the February intake and by mid-May for the September intake.
