| GUEST90154 | what happens if you apply for a work visa and you submit a phony university degree and it gets found out? |

 | Your work visa application will be denied and you will be blacklisted if it is found out to submit a phony university degree |

| GUEST12457 | look. here is a message to everyone. I am here now in my second year in china. i have a criminal record. don't tell them. it won't show up. if a certain province or certain school requires a police certifcate you can simply move to another place. admitting something on paper is the most foolish thing you can do. plenty of people i know from africa, and other places have records and have been in china for years. Bottom line JUST BEHAVE IN CHINA and things will be okay. |

| GUEST12457 | but don't break the law in china. now, there is an advantage if you are already in china now. the embassy will see you have been here and just keep issuing visas. also, connections are important. the more you have and the more nice you are to people the more they can overlook things or turn the otherway. but especially here in guangzhou i know many people who are building new lives here. some are even wanted for tax evasion in the US. don't worry to much. live your life and behave. just don't mark anything on paper. that's akin to a duck painting himself red and writing "shoot me" on his back during hunting season |

| GUEST68155 | did you or did you not read posts number 300 and 301 above? |

| GUEST21155 | To me it sounds like those who have a criminal history are going to have to roll the dice either way; either take a chance they will call your 'no' bluff or take a chance that they will be sympathetic to your 'yes' reasoning. I also note that their requests for police records that you produce yourself seem to indicate their unwillingness to check themselves unless you voluntarily give them reason too. So the logical choice is "no". The only reason I can see for "yes" is some imagined 'peace of mind' that you won't encounter problems later. I say 'imagined' because there is no such thing as a "sure thing". Either answer could cause problems later. Suppose they decide later that the disclosed history that got you a visa is now grounds for removal; the Chinese government is incredibly fickle. I suppose there is also a "moral" question of lying which I fully understand. To this all I can say, is that, based on my readings here, and my interaction with other Chinese bureaucracies, the people involved in the process don't really seem to WANT to know about your criminal history or anything that could complicate the process. It is a 'wink wink nudge nudge' kind of mentality that says "don't create problems that don't need to be created. Just tell me what I need to hear." It goes without saying that any foreign peoples in China are there on good faith and should act in accordance with the local laws and customs. Be a positive ambassador for your country. Stop worrying about your past and set a good example now. Just a guest who is thankful to have stumbled across this post. Thanks |

| GUESTGUESTGUEST | I see that the laws are changing a lot. Once you get to china, will there be any further need to prove 'no criminal record' for residency permits and the like? |

| GUEST12211 | I have a drink and driving offense, and have ticked No on my visa application form and got my chinese visa. I am worried now that the chinese will find out my criminal record when I arrive at Beijing airport and deport me. Any advice? |
