Q: Do I need the work permit cancellation letter or the release letter if I leave China?

I was working for two months at a school in Shenyang China and I quit the job after the manager starting yelling at me when I said that I am not going to do demo classes for the school as it is not written in the contract and I had asked about why social insurance premiums and taxes  were not taken out of my salary. I had stayed in China for a month after and had another job lined up. I was waiting for the school to pay me, cancel my work permit and provide me with my release letter. After they had paid my salary minus the contract breach fee I had left China as I wanted to be with my girlfriend who lives in Cambodia. Since then the school has provided me with the work permit cancellation letter but they had told me that they will not give me the release letter until I have gone with them to the PSB to cancel my residence permit. I had left China before they were able to cancel my resident permit as I did not want to have to wait in China for 30 days. I am aware that I would get a visa that would give me 7 days to leave China and that I would have to reapply for a z visa anyway. As I have left China does this mean that I would have to reapply for a z visa like before and that I would not need the release letter and the work permit cancellation letter.

Why are you worrying now?

 

Apply for the new job in China and you'll see what documents employer will ask considering your previous job in China.

 

Chinese Labour law has changed in 2016/17 and many details are still unknown.

Before 2016, you were required to provide Release letter and FEC Cancelation slip from your previous employer in order to start new Working permit application.

You only need the release letter if you want to transfer your work visa to a new employer without leaving China to get a new Z visa. In your case, nothing to worry about.

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski.  ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
