Paul,

It is NOT normal procedure to 'transfer' residency permits. With each new job we foreigners are required to apply for a Z visa in our country of origin or at least in HK. Under extenuating circumstances and obviously if one has Guangxi, new permits may be issued in-state.

Two years ago, I was forced by my employers to go to HK or go home again to apply for a Z visa. I had entered China several months earlier to travel on a tourist visa. They didn't even want to approach the PSB on the issue. Several months later they did approached the PSB on behalf of another teacher who had flown in 'on spec' on a tourist visa and was accepted for a position. His papers were processed without ever leaving China.

I was not impressed when I found out but nothing you can do. Interestingly enough he didn't last, he was gone in just six months but I've stayed two years and had my residency extended twice but that will end with this contract..

OKＪａｂｓ！I was basing my comments on what I understood was a change in regulations a couple of years ago. I was told that if you can get the two employers to co-operate (don't laugh too loudly!) you do not need a new Z visa, which 'as we all know' usually means leaving the mainland. There is NO　WAY I　would accept going overseas to get a visa －　China is short of teachers and I don't NEED a job.... if they can't get better organised, bye bye.
