Start up costs needed for China (SZ) before and after arrival

One of the most important thing you need to consider when you move to China is your start up cost. It's considerably more than what you need to move to South Korea. I've kept track of some of the costs needed. A lot we had prepared for, but a lot we didn't.

  • Visa (on arrival) - 1000 rmb (each country is different, i think this was US. I paid 200 cdn back home) 
  • Health check - 480rmb
  • Transit card + top up - 200rmb (shenzhen tong)
  • Phone - 200rmb (could vary - we went with the cheapest)
  • Foreign Expert Certificate photos - 50rmb
  • Resident Permit - 400rmb 
  • Rent (2 months') - 6000rmb
  • Deposit (2 months' value) - 6000rmb
  • Agent fees (1/2 of rent) - 2500rmb
  • Electric, gas, managment fee bills - 500rmb
  • Food & Household products - 2400rmb (est. 400rmb/week - could be more if you go out to eat) 
total per person = 18880rmb (3100 US)
