What if you want to change to a new job?

It is common for Chinese people to quit and change jobs, but for foreigners working in China, you need to go through the transfer procedures in accordance with the law before changing jobs, otherwise it will lead to very serious consequences.

It's important to find a job that's right for you, and today SOLUTIONS talks about that.

╱ Firstly ╱

you need to notify your HR department, or your boss by Resignation letter. And negotiate with the company for the last day. Generally speaking, the company must handle Resignation for you in a month.

╱ Secondly ╱

the company has the obligation to cooperate with you to cancel your work permit, and to issue a letter of resignation for you. You can reapply for a new work visa with your next company only after you cancel your work permit and obtain a resignation certificate.

According to the regulations, the employer for foreigners to work in China must be the same as the employer indicated on his/her employment permit. It should be noted that foreigners should cancel the original work visa in time (within 10 working days after the termination of employment relationship), otherwise it may affect the application for the change of work visa. Failure to change a work visa in time will be considered illegal work.
