Which country does the chef go to? High salary and low expenses.

Chefs must have certain conditions to go abroad, that is, they must have certain qualifications. Of course, first of all, you must be a chef with a certain technical foundation, which is the most basic premise. At present, many countries have a certain threshold for chefs. Many recruitment brochures clearly indicate that they need a chef's grade certificate, have certain work experience, and issue proof of work experience. As for the specific standards, it varies according to the country and the employer, but generally speaking, it takes at least two years of work experience, and some even need five or six years of work experience to be qualified to go abroad for labor services. In addition, you must have your own cuisine. Cantonese cuisine and Shanghai cuisine are more popular abroad.

In terms of age, there are very strict restrictions on going abroad for labor services. According to the introduction of the labor service company, every employer has an age standard in the recruitment brochure. This standard is quite strict, and no one can be employed above or below their prescribed age. Generally speaking, most of the requirements are between the ages of 25 and 35, and the upper limit is relaxed to 40, but there are fewer people over 40. Chefs around the age of 30 are in the best condition because of their experience and physical strength, and they are the most popular abroad.

In language, there are also different standards. Generally, Chinese restaurants don't have strict language requirements. Most of them only need to speak Mandarin, but if they are cooks of Cantonese cuisine, they are required to speak Cantonese. If you want to go to better restaurants in some countries, such as Britain and Germany, the threshold is higher. Some German restaurants will make it clear that they need to know German, while some British restaurants require to know English. With the threshold of language, it will naturally be more difficult, but correspondingly, the welfare treatment and restaurant treatment in these countries are much better.

In addition, health certificate is also essential for going abroad for labor service, and there are necessary resumes and so on. Some countries also need notarized proof of no criminal record.

If you have all the above, the most important thing is that individuals must have certain funds, and the cost depends on the country they go to. From 20,000 RMB to 70,000-80,000 RMB, but generally it will not exceed 654.38+10,000 RMB. Having said that, the most important thing is to find a suitable way to go abroad and a suitable employer. In general, you can get all kinds of information about recruiting laborers abroad from TV, radio, newspapers, internet and other media, and you can also get information from operating companies with foreign economic cooperation qualifications. After obtaining the labor service information, it is necessary to confirm whether the information is reliable. At present, the country's foreign labor service business has not been fully liberalized, and only companies (hereinafter referred to as operating companies) approved by the Ministry of Commerce and qualified for foreign labor service operation can sign contracts and send laborers abroad. Therefore, the key to confirm whether the information is accurate is to know whether the company that publishes the information has the qualification of overseas labor service operation approved by the Ministry of Commerce or whether it has the power of attorney to operate the company.

If you want to find a way, you should go to the company to learn about specific projects, find out what country and region you want to go to, and then know the names of operating companies and foreign employers; What to do, working period, probation period, working days per month or week, working hours per day; How about salary, including basic salary, overtime pay on holidays, payment method, etc. At the same time, the operating company may be required to produce a copy of the qualification certificate for foreign economic cooperation issued by the Ministry of Commerce and a copy of the contract signed with foreign employers.

You need to go through various formalities in the future, including a written interview with your employer. The duration of this process varies from three months to half a year, depending on the specific situation.

Treatment of going abroad

Of course, going abroad has many advantages. First, the salary will be relatively high, but it is definitely not peanuts. This must be made clear. Second, you can get many learning opportunities. Going abroad can broaden your horizons and bring back some excellent things from abroad, which can enhance your added value. Third, you can get relevant certificates. Many countries will provide relevant certificates when the contract expires, which can be gilded when the chef returns home. This is a very realistic problem. Fourth, to obtain immigration qualification, many countries will provide chefs with policies in this regard, and they can obtain permanent residency after the expiration of their work contracts.

Every country has different policies, so restaurants are naturally treated differently. Generally speaking, the labor service in Europe is more favorable, while the relative treatment in Asian countries and Southeast Asian countries is less. American chefs are well paid, but according to the relevant personnel of the labor service company, the threshold for going to the United States is quite high, and there are quite few labor opportunities. Below, the salary, benefits and expenses of each country are introduced one by one.

Britain: The country with the best welfare and working environment is also the dream place of many chefs. In Britain, the salary of a chef is generally 200 to 350 pounds per week, and the annual salary after tax is between 654.38+20,000 to 300,000 RMB. When a chef first arrives in England, he should start as a handyman and learn while doing. The salary is generally 150 to 180/ week, 200 to 250/ week for the promotion of the second kitchen and 250 to 280/ week for the promotion of the first kitchen. Work in the UK for at least 1 to 2 years, and the salary is generally 300 to 350. In terms of welfare, you can enjoy the statutory holidays stipulated by the British state like British citizens, enjoy four weeks paid holidays every year (including eight public holidays), and have overtime pay or vacation for overtime work.

Generally speaking, if you want to work in the UK, you will have a five-year work permit to work legally in the UK and a five-year multiple-entry work visa (both the work permit and the work visa are issued by the British Home Office, counting from the date of entry). Since the contract will take effect when the applicant enters the country, the formal contract will be signed when the applicant reports to the British restaurant. With a work permit, the most direct benefit is that the holder can enjoy free medical care in the UK while working in the UK. Their spouses and/kloc-children under the age of 0/8 also enjoy free medical care in the UK. At the same time, after working in the UK for one year, they can bring their families to the UK, and children under 18 can enjoy free education in the UK.

As I said before, some countries can immigrate, and Britain is one of the few countries that can immigrate. According to British law, people who have worked for four years (who need to live in Britain for nine months every year) pay taxes normally during their work, without using the British government's provident fund or criminal discipline. When the four-year period is about to expire, they can apply for the whole family to immigrate to the UK (children must be under 65,438+08 years old, but not over 65,438+08 years old), and the whole family can enjoy the high welfare and high security social welfare treatment system. It is said that applying for a work visa in the UK can be regarded as the only shortcut to immigrate to the UK, except for the investment immigrants of 6.5438+0 million pounds.

Of course, a good salary means a high threshold, and the service fee for chefs to go to the UK is also relatively high, which is about 70,000 to 80,000 RMB. In addition, the test of British restaurants for chefs is all-round, and chefs who want to go to Britain must have excellent conditions.

Germany: It is said that if China citizens want to work in Germany, they are most likely to enter the country as cooks. In principle, China citizens cannot apply to work in Germany, except China chefs. Wages in Germany are relatively high, equivalent to RMB, and the monthly salary is around 1 10,000 (after tax), and many restaurants will increase it every year. Accommodation is free during the contract period, and various medical and personal insurances are provided. Chefs working in Germany for 3-4 years can take 2 1-30 days off with pay every year. If they return to China, they can take care of themselves through air tickets. When a chef from China goes to work in Germany, he needs to hold an economic guarantee issued by the German restaurant owner or a labor contract signed by both parties; The chef himself must hold a Chinese and English version of the chef's certificate issued by a Chinese notary office and a diploma in cooking education for more than 2 years. After working in Germany for 3-4 years, you must return to China on time when it expires, and you can apply again later, but you must stay in China for 2 years before you can apply again. The cost of going to Germany is equivalent to about RMB 60,000.

Although it is almost impossible for Germany to immigrate and settle here, it is still an ideal working country for chefs. At present, the number of chefs that China sends to Germany every year remains at around 1 1,000.

Australia: Apart from European countries, Australia is also a very good place for China chefs. Australia's beautiful environment and good welfare system are well known. The most important thing is that there is a great demand for China chefs in Australia, and the shortage of chefs has always been relatively large. At present, there are more than 40,000 Chinese restaurants in Australia. According to the labor service company, they accept the most orders to Australia. Chef China is very popular in Australia. As long as they do well, their weekly net income is 700-1000 yuan (about 3500-5000 yuan), that is, their monthly net income can reach 12500-25000 yuan. Of course, this is the chef's salary. The income of two chefs and three chefs is about Australian dollars and 500 yuan (about 2,500 yuan) per week, and it is about RMB 1 10,000 yuan per month. This is the general situation of restaurants in China, not the standard of extremely high-end restaurants. Generally speaking, the annual salary of China chefs working in Australia is about 200,000 RMB, and they also enjoy various social insurances during their work. However, China chefs once had a fatal English problem. As long as the chef has excellent English, Australia is the best choice.

Canada: Because there are many Chinese in Canada, there is a great demand for chefs from China. Canada has always been one of the countries with the best welfare benefits. Chefs from China go to work in Canada with a monthly salary of about 1000 RMB, and Canada is also one of the countries with the greatest immigration success rate. As long as you apply for a Canadian chef's work visa and work full-time 1 year, you can apply for immigration. Even if the conditions are average and the applicant has worked full-time for 2 years, the applicant meets the local permanent residence (immigration) conditions. Obtaining permanent residency means that the whole family enjoys generous benefits in Canada. To work in Canada, a chef must have at least 3 years working experience in the kitchen and have the qualification certificate of intermediate chef or above. Applicants must be under 45 years old, fluent in English, working in a regular restaurant or hotel and in good health. One disadvantage of going to Canada is that the visa period is too long (1 year or so), and there are English interviews.

Singapore: It is also one of the countries where China chefs go the most, and its immigration policy is relatively open. However, compared with European countries and Australia, the salaries of China chefs who go to Singapore are relatively low. Most of them are around 5,000 RMB per month, and a few of them may reach 1000 RMB in January. However, this is the basic salary, and there are overtime pay. Some restaurants will get dividends at the end of the year, mainly depending on what kind of treatment they want from their employers.

Of course, if you work in Singapore, it is easier to immigrate. As long as you work in Singapore for two years with a work visa, you can apply for permanent residence, which is more attractive to chefs who want to immigrate to Singapore. In addition, with the chef's certificate, you can also apply for a Singapore entrepreneurial immigrant visa and register your own company in Singapore with a registered capital of about S $6,543,800, equivalent to nearly RMB 500,000.

Middle East countries:

In addition to these typical countries, there are many job opportunities for chefs in other countries such as Vietnam and Myanmar in Southeast Asia, as well as in the Middle East and West Asia. Many labor service companies have relatively more businesses in Asia, and the wages and benefits in these countries are also uneven, which requires chefs to think carefully before making a decision. Especially in some countries with social unrest, chefs are advised to think twice before you act. In addition, it is worth noting that some employers will have a probation period of three months, so we must find out the specific situation of the other party before thinking about whether we can pass the probation period. If they don't pass the trial, the other side will let you go. Not only will you lose your expensive service fee, but you can't even get a work visa, and you have to spend money to go back to China. It's too uneconomical.
