Q: Criminal background checks for foreigners? Any updates?

Any updates on these criminal background checks that the govt is supposedly imposing on foreigners living and working in China?  Do the checks apply only to foreign teachers or do they also apply to any foreigner working in China?  Any official publication available that outlines the procedures, country-by-country?  Who bears the burden of proof here?  The foreign employee, the employer (Chinese or non-Chinese) or the govt (PSB)?  Is there a "grace period" to get the check done should it involve returning to the home country?

Any and all feedback appreciated.  Thanks.

Together with my company we're sorting out my z-visa now, first time I had to get the background check done. Considering I'm in the home country now it was an easy process, just go to my local municipality that applied for the check with the justice department. The entire thing took just a week!

This is a Beijing deal. Like most new "rules", it will be applied for awhile then forgotten. I mean really, if you've not done anything wrong in the past, then why worry about about it?

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
