You need Reference (or Recommendation) Letter for your next employer and I have all RLs attached to my CV.

In 2016, I moved from Henan to Guizhou, new School demanded I gave them Recommendation letter beside Release letter and FEC Cancel cert. School's rep. told me all 3 documents are required by Law at changing of employer. I am not sure, if that is true, but that what they told me. It was also the first time, School (in Henan) refused to give me Rec. letter.

Dial SAFEA (Foreign Expert Bureau) in your Province and ask them about Recommendation letter ...

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
