The Entry and Exit Bureau of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau recently discovered that many foreigners seem to be unaware of the rule that when they change companies they must go to the Public Security Bureau within ten days to apply for a new residence permit. The Public Security Bureau recently had to deal with such a case, whereby a foreign worker had failed to comply with this rule, which resulted in the foreigner having to reapply for a work visa and residence permit.

Therefore, the Shanghai Public Security Bureau and all other relevant departments have issued a reminder to foreigners either already working here or planning to take up employment in the near future, that in order to legally work in China, they must get the approval of the Labour Bureau and the Public Security Bureau. Moreover, when foreigners change companies, they must go to the Labour Department and Public Security Bureau to fill out the relevant paper work within ten days. By complying with these rules, foreign workers can avoid a lot of unnecessary hassle.
