Q: Having a Residence Permit and Tourist Visa at same time?

Hi, Is it possible to have a residence permit and tourist visa also? I've ceased working at a school, about 2 weeks ago. The residence permit is still valid but my concern is that they could cancel is at any given time without my knowledge. It's very difficult getting any answers from the school re the RP.

You won't get Tourist visa, if Residence permit is still valid. That's the way to find out, if your RP is still valid by applying for Tourist visa at Chinese embassy.

When you finish your Contract or if your Contract is terminated, School must take you to PSB, where RP is replaced by 30-days L visa.

If the Contract was terminated, it is the same procedure, except if termination was because of gross violation, you'll only get 7 days L.

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
