Q: Must hand in ORIGINAL Reference Letter, They Won't Give it Back?

I was just told that I have to hand in my original reference letters and I'm not going to get them back? When applying for my Work Permit?

 

Beijing, btw. 

 

Is this accurate? Can I give a copy instead??

Okay I'll give you a proper answer. It's bullshit! Yes you need to hand the originals over for the application. Under the new system the employer applied online first using scanned documents. Once online approval is given the originals have to be sent in. Once the work permit is approved the original documents are given back. 

 

Do you really believe they'd keep the originals? You'd never be able to apply for mother job after that if you had no originals.

I've always given my CV with files attached to School and that was it.

 

Just tell them files are all you have ... and see their next demand. Then, dial SAFEA about that 'requirement' to hear from the horse's ....

You're peddling two different stories.

He peddles even more shit on his wechat "news" account and then links it on Reddit to make it popular...

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
