Q: Can I leave my language school for another job without losing my z visa?

My school has given me a contract which they seem to think is not worth following.  I am half way through my contract.  I want to move on but I do not want to return to my home country to get another visa.  Am I stuck until the end of my contract?  I have heard that only the original employer can renew a visa without going home.  Is there another way?

Z visa get converted to Residence permit, and it expired in 30 days after you entered China.

- Find new School/RP sponsor.

- Get one (or more) Contract violation by your employer, and state them in the Resignation notice. After you handed RN, you must respect RN period. 30 - 90 days, depend on your Contract.

- Visit SAFEA in the city, and ask them for advice and guidance. Most likely, you will need SAFEA later to help you recover necessary documents and salary from your old School.

 

When School is in the Contract breach, you can change employer, and keep your RP intact.

Your new School should be authorized to hire FT, and able to extend your RP. You don't need to exit China (new Z).

 

dom87:

the resignation period stated in the contract is only to follow if you wanna quit your job and they did NOT break the contract.

 

if they broke your contract then you can leave the next day but you shouldnt be as bad as them and give them maybe some time to rearrange their schedule.

 

as far as I know they also have to give you a release letter

I agree! I made mistake in my reply above.

 

When School is in Contract breach, you don't need to respect Resignation notice. You can walk away next day.

yes you can. 

 

just transfer your work permit and resident permit under new school. 

1 cancel the work permit of your previous school

2 then apply for the work permit under the new school.

3 go to interview in public securtity bureau

4 got approved and then got the approval result

5 apply for the resident permit in public security bureau. 

 

of course, the premise is that your resident permit doesnt expire . still have at least one month to process i suggues. 

 

Best Regards

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
