 |
|
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. |

This happened to me before. The PSB gave me an F visa valid for 7 days after the contract completion date. At the time I asked about the process regarding changing schools, they told me I would need to have a signed contract and release letter from the new school. As it happened, the new school screwed me around and I ended up getting a spousal visa. |

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. |

My final day of teaching should be May 11th and I planned to arrive at the new place around May 15th.Seems it would cause troubles because my RP should be expired by that date,so I should make changes in my plan. |

You did not notice this date discrepancy a year ago ? You've left yourself nearly a month to find a new job, get the proper documents together (you and a new employer) and get FEC'ed and RP'ed, etc. If you fall short of time, it's on you.
I've been in China 8 years and NOT ONCE has my RP matched my contract or FEC expiration dates. Police rarely issue more than 10 months on RP's and the expiration dates are based on application date, not related to other documents. It's moronic, but the way it is.
Next time, prepare in advance. |
