Q: Work visa issue

Hello everyone! I had a very unpleasant experience at the beginning of this year. As you all know, there was a few months lockdown in Shanghai. During the lockdown, my employer screwed me up by announcing bankrupcy and running away with the money he owed to his employees. However, money wasn't a big deal, the big deal was my work permit/visa he didn't manage to deal with. For now, I have no contact with him, because he ran away or left the country. I had to come back home due to my visa was about to expire. The question is, is there any chance to ask for authorities to recover papers or give me a permission to apply for a new work permit without a release letter or other papers that I needed?
Thanks everyone who will answer or be helpful in advance!

Try and find out which Chinese .gov organisation replaced SAFEA at the latest Labour law novelty in 2017.

 

We use to call it 'Foreign Expert Bureau' or SAFEA (State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs), but that Chinese gov. org. isn't active anymore.

 

They issued Working permits and other documents for laowai working in China, and they should answer questions you have.

 

You also might try and ask at the Chinese embassy in your home country.

 

Good luck!

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
