chip1985 Posted October 9, 2009 at 08:06 PM Report Posted October 9, 2009 at 08:06 PM Hi all I want to leave my job and China. I have been here for less than 30 days and don't have my residence permit yet. Can I leave the country on my Z-visa or do I need to wait for my residence permit to avoid any complications? Quote

imron Posted October 10, 2009 at 09:28 AM Report Posted October 10, 2009 at 09:28 AM That depends actually. If you came in on a Z visa and stay longer than 30 days then you do need a residence permit otherwise you will be fined 500 RMB for every day over those 30 days up to some set limit. Quote
chip1985 Posted October 10, 2009 at 11:14 AM Author Report Posted October 10, 2009 at 11:14 AM So just to clarify, I can leave before my Z-visa expires (less than 30 days) and don't need to worry about fines or questions about why I don't have a residence permit? Thanks! Quote
imron Posted October 10, 2009 at 12:09 PM Report Posted October 10, 2009 at 12:09 PM No, I'm only saying what happens if you overstay, or are in the country long enough to get a residence permit. I'm not sure what happens if you understay. Quote
