Q: Can I get a Z visa.

Two years ago I was working in China on a Z visa but only completed half of my contract before returning home.

I am wondering if I will be able to obtain a visa or if I will be refused/blacklisted.

Did you get a release letter from the company & a receipt for cancellation of your FEC/work permit?

You can call SAFEA, and ask them about it.

 

In order to get new Working permit at SAFEA (Foreign Expert Bureau), you must have Release letter from your last employer.

If you complete the Contract, employer must give you Release letter in 30-days after your last working day.

It's difficult to say about 'not completing the Contract'. I guess, SAFEA probably won't grant new WP to a FT with violations.

You have two options:

1. Call SAFEA, and ask about it;

2. Apply at new School in China. When School will start with WP application, SAFEA will tell them if you're in violation, and it will deny issuing new WP.

You should be fine. Apply for jobs and find out.

If you have a new passport since then even better.

But be honest on your application form.

Thanks for all the help/advice. 

I am sure I came off a bit like one of those foreigners who left a job before...and I did.  But it was just being young + a bad fit for me.  

Thanks again!

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
