Can I talk to you more about how you started the process? Looking to move to either China or Ireland, but all my job applications get auto-rejected since I don’t have a visa. Did you get scouted by a company?
Yes feel free to DM me. Are you looking into companies that offer visa sponsorships? If it isn’t something you can do remotely, it’s probably a better idea to go the critical skills route if you can. If not, you can try a study visa that can turn into a work visa. I know going to Ireland to study Irish and getting a job while there is a popular option for Chinese citizens right now.
The main issue is, of course, housing. Make sure you can cover costs before moving.
My occupation does fall in the critical skills occupation list, but the fee for the permit is €1000 and I don’t think any company would sponsor me so early in my career
It’s still possible if your job is high enough in demand. Try applying to every company that offers sponsorships in your field. If you get rejected, ask them what kind of experience you will need and try to stay in contact with them in case something changes.
Companies will often make exceptions for less education and experience if they need you enough.

What websites did you use to apply?
I despise indeed but it seems to be the best at understanding you are looking for a visa sponsorship.
It would be great if we had a searchable site collective specifically for work immigration.
