I am sure that they have marked him at exit, he should see if somthing was written in his passport. Or he must just try to apply for a visa
Your "friend"? Then why the Annonimity? Just take a look at your passport and see what was stamped or written on it. I dont think you will be allowed back however. Why did you steal the laptop?
depends on which country your friend is from please do tell us where is your dear honest friend from?? i might add stupid, they leave the laptops out in the open how the puck the you get caught stealing one and you might as well have tried to go for a bigger score.
The PSB and local police computers, criminal court proceedings, has all been centrally computerized for the last several years. If the person in question has had an entry made against his passport number in a criminal proceeding, then yes, there will be a record made against him. Additionally, he was in jail for 40 days, or so I gather, on a visa stay, and the Chinese are rather strict about a visa overstay of that length. He may not have been fined for the visa overstay but it surely was noted.
The person-in-question can try to arrange for another visa. He or she could complete the visa application form and if the visa clerk does the computerized pre-screening as he or she should, all of this will turn up, I think. In the end, it will be up to the Visa Issuing Officer at the Chinese Consulate in the city where this person lives to either approve or deny the visa.
Additionally, the visa form contains a box about having been arrested or gone to jail or something like that.
