01
Why the Work permit and work-residence permit must canceled?
1. Avoiding joint and several liability
Only if the company cancels the foreigner's work permit and residence permit at the same time, it shall be regarded as terminating the labor relationship with the employer. If you still maintain a working visa relationship with your original employer, the foreign employee may be jointly and severally liable for illegal acts or personal accidents during this period. The company may bear joint liability. Therefore, in general, companies will ask foreigners to cancel or change their work visas within a certain period of time through friendly negotiations for various reasons.
2. Legal requirements
The law states that foreigners must cancel their work visas when they terminate their labor relationship with a company, and if they fail to do so, the company and the foreigner will be held legally liable.
3.One of the necessary documents for re-employment
After the cancellation of the residence permit, the foreigner can apply for a 30-day residence visa, during which time the foreigner can re-apply for the transfer of the work permit and the residence permit if he or she is employed in another institution.
4.For personal welfare needs
When foreigners leave the country, they must also provide a certificate of cancellation of the foreigner's work permit when handling matters such as the refund of the pension insurance and the one-time processing of the personal account of the medical insurance.
02
Will the work-residence permit also be revoked?
Yes.
The purpose of the cancellation of the residence permit is to update the foreigner's residence record in China and ensure that your residence status is correct. If the cancellation is not timely, it may bring legal risks to the foreigner and the enterprise, such as affecting the foreigner's future visa application in China, or the credibility and compliance of the enterprise when hiring the foreigner in the future.
03
Can foreingers stay in China without a work permit?
Can stay for a short time.
Foreigners can apply for a 30-day residence visa after leaving the job, during which they can choose to return to China, or find another job, and then re-apply for a work permit in a new company.
