    Let's get one thing straight. If you want to live and work in China then you have to work for a boss. If you try to open up your own consulting company then they always see it as you are trying to cut out the Chinese (pimp) and that you want to work for yourself.

    I left just over three years ago. Best choice I ever made. I was there for around 12 years. I also had the problem with no degree. The government expects people with degrees to go and teach English and all these people have an actual degree. What a waist of a degree. The money spent on getting an actual degree and then working as an English teacher in China... well that is pretty much an...

    Fuk-ang, Xinjiang, but only at the small Uyghur's bakery shacks, if they still exist. 

     

    Rye and pure corn bread, which are both baked as 150g or so brioches and focaccias. Year 2012/13.

    You can exit China under Z visa anytime you please. However, most recipients of Z visa apply with employer's help for Residence permit after the entry to China.

     

    Z visa is valid 30-days and you can do whatever you want, apply for RP or exit China and return home.

    Z visa cancellation is impossible, I'd say, unless you committed a crime and even then cops would just...

    Passport change might work, but what about the same name on the new passport?

    I've always had a doubt at passport change 'cause the name remains the same.

    I've never tried that though, because I've never had a similar troubles ... and in my country, you can't just change a passport on the whim. It must be damaged, lost/stolen or near the expiration date, so change is warranted....

    Reason might be the current negative sentiment between China and USA with other western (EU & Japan) countries.

    They are keep banning each other for this or that and restricting access to a vital resources, i.e. Rare Earth metals as the latest Chinese export ban.

    Rules for WP, Z visa and RP later on are centralized across China. Employer can file WP application and more only online. No province or city can overrule that and issue Working permit to a non-English native foreigner unless they do some shady paperwork ...

    No, you are not ... illegible to legally work in China as an ET.

    Rules to obtain ET Z (Working) visa are centralized across China, i.e. rules don't differ from province to province, city to city.

     

    For a legal ET job in China, one must hold a native English passport (UK, USA, Canada, Ozz, New Zealand or S. Africa), as first.

    That is a typical Chinese style blackmail!

     

    I wouldn't worry for the WP application expiration at all!

    WP application doesn't expire. It is either approved or rejected and that is known fairly fast, 2-weeks time the longest.

     

    I'd find another employer, Z visa sponsor ASAP, sign new contract and start with WP application all over again.

    I don't think, it will work without exiting China.

     

    1. As I am aware, you can get Z visa only out of China, at any Chinese embassy abroad.

    Chinese embassy in Hong Kong's Wanchai is the closest one.

     

    2. To get Z visa, you will need a sponsor, Company, which will employ you and supply all the documents necessary to obtain Z visa.

    It happened to me, once ... in 2014 or 15 ...

    Plane from end-of-RP city (Tianjin) had more than 10h delay at take-off, and I came to the HK's exit Luohu some 7 hours after the RP expiration date.

    In real, I came to the exit crossing just on time or maybe only an hour late, but Luohu is closed overnight (10pm - 6am), which I didn't anticipate.

    There were two unexpected...

    Yes, you can get legal ET job by the Chinese Labor law. 

     

    Problem is, most Chinese managers and recruiters don't know, they can obtain Working permit for a non-native English passport holder, teacher with BA completed in a native English country.

     

    I'd suggest, you mention possibility of legal employment for non-native English teacher with degree...

    unless you are married to a local, your parents can only stay as long as you are (legally) working there.

     

    if you are not married to a local, once your visa expires and you exit, your parents would have to leave too.

     

    This is not 'retiring' to China as most people would understand it, as it is contingent on your presence.
