Visa and working in china

[noahdzissah]

Hi there ,
News just came in that the locals could tip the police off about any foreigner working without a working visa . How true is that ?

Hi there,
Never heard of this but like mentioned elsewhere police is cracking down on illegal workers. Although exceptional, I would assume it happens people rat you out because of envy. Many Chinese assume the salary for foreigners is much higher then that of locals (which at the same level of job is nonsense).

The big cities (Beijing, especially) have been cracking down on illegal foreign workers. If you don't have a business license or a Z-visa and resident permit, they will deport you. I can't say what the situation is elsewhere in the country.

It is true here in the North Eastern part of China. Shortly after the Brit decided to beat his Chinese girlfriend in the street in Beijing, the government issued an order for all illegal foreigners to be deported. Here in Liaoning Provence the police were knocking on the doors of foreigners and checking their papers.

Hi,

In your earlier post, you said it was a Brit, beating his girlfriend.
This new link, is it about some thing else perhaps?

I remember the incident quite well.

Your report is correct about police response to this situation with increased checks on foreigners. The only mistake in your post was the girl that was attacked was apparently unknown to her assaliant, not a girlfriend and also not the first girl to be accosted by the Brit that evening.

My apologies for the misunderstanding.

That is true in our city. When you go to buy train tickets or bus tickets they ask to see your passport. If you don't have the right paper work then they write down your name and turn you in. The police pay the reporter for their "good deed". However, we live in a small city by Chinese standards so I'm not sure how many illegals we have working for the one Major company here. Usually the illegals are teachers hired by private schools without the certificate to hire foreigners.
