Hey everyone,

I have a valid contract until May 13th,2012 and a residence permit valid until May 11th,2012.Right now I'm thinking about changing a job after my current contract is over.However,I'm a bit confused about the process.I understand that in order to change a job,I will need a release letter from my current employer.What about the residence permit?Can it cause troubles that it expires before the contract?Is anyone familiar with the process in a case like this?

Tell the FAO. They'll have to take it back to the Entry/Exit Bureau and have it changed. Once the paperwork is complete, somebody will write in the correct date on the RP. Exact same thing happened to me in '10.

may 11 is friday. may 13 is sunday.
when is your final day of teaching?

when do you plan to arrive at the new school?

once there, you need to register with the police.
then you need to get a new health certificate.
and you need to sign/seal/stamp your new contract.
then you can get your new FEC.

then you can apply for your new RP. the old RP must still be
valid. if not, you may be needing a new z visa.

If you have a new school already, get them to renew the residence permit. If the school is in the same city then you shouldn't have too many issues.

Asking your current school for an extension might not be a good idea, most likely they will go the easiest route and that would mean applying for a 30 day L visa.

If you do ask your current school make sure they don't just get you a L visa. You don't want to be on a this kind of visa because then you might have to take a trip to HK or even worse, back to your home country to apply for a new Z visa.

This year I got the worst ending time ever. June 30th, My last day of school is July 6th. I went to the FAO today and explained that needs to be dealt with she was like most FAO, pretending to care with glazed over eyes.

so what is exactly needed when you transfer?

A release letter and a letter of recommendation?

what about your education and TEFL? do you need to prove that all over again?

and is the procedure the same for transferring between school in different provinces?

I do apologize if this was mentioned before but I'm having trouble finding anything relevant to my question.

Thanks in advance.

Your FEC needs to be cancelled with your old school
and than established with a new school.

Typically, You will need a medical check.

You will need a release letter, but not a recommendation.

It's much easier than the z-visa deal and it really depends on what school and in what province your in on exact details.
