[quote=APAULT,234298]Unless you get approval and get you permit transferred to a new empoyer, you will lose the permit....a permit is only valid while correctly employed.  Alternatively resign formally stating the reasons and request the employer to have the permit cancelled.  You will then need to get a temporary tourist vissa which only entitles u to stay 15 days - you can then exit the mainland and apply for your F visa.. but you will need the business invitation etc.

If you cannot or dont want to involve the compant, maybe you can go direct to the PSB and ask for it to be cancelled and get the temporary tourist visa.  Given the way each PSB works according to its own interpretation of the rules, if the business that will invites you has good contacts you might even be able to bypass the tourist visa.   In all cases it would be a good idea to return the residence permit booklet

I am basing these comments on my experiences but I hav not been in this situation.  There are also at least 2 visa agencies based in Shanghai that you could contact.
