expiration, and employee voluntary resignation, the employing unit

Post-Cancellation
Connection Notes

注销后新单位入职衔接注意事项

The
smooth connection between work permit cancellation and new unit entry
is the key to ensuring the legal employment of foreign employees. The
following points must be noted:

工作许可注销与新单位入职的顺利衔接，是保障外籍员工合法就业的关键，以下要点务必注意：

The
new unit must apply for a new work permit only after the original
work permit is cancelled (the cancellation certificate is required
for application).新单位必须在原工作许可注销完成后，方可申办新工签（申办需提供注销证明）。

The
interval between cancellation and new application should not exceed
30 days, otherwise the foreign employee may need to leave the country
and reapply for a Z visa.注销与新申办的间隔时间尽量不超过30天，否则外籍员工可能需离境重新申请Z签。

After
the new work permit is approved, the foreign employee must go through
the residence permit change procedures in a timely manner to ensure
that the work permit and residence permit are
consistent.新工签获批后，外籍员工需及时办理居留许可变更手续，确保工签与居留许可信息一致。
