How to cancel a foreigner's work permit

After the foreigner applies for the work permit, if the contract expires or the labor contract is terminated in advance, the employer can go through the cancellation procedures of the work permit and residence permit visa before the expiration of the work permit.

1. The most common way for enterprises is to only cancel the work permit, so that foreigners can take the cancellation certificate to change to other units and extend the work permit.

After the cancellation of the work permit, the foreign employee failed to change the work permit to the new unit in time. During this period, the work permit relationship is still in the original company. During this period, the company may have joint and several liabilities if the foreigner violates the law or has personal accidents. Generally, companies will limit a time limit for foreigners to go through the change procedures for the sake of friendly negotiation.

2. If the work permit is cancelled, continue to cancel the residence permit. Foreigners will get a 30-day stay visa, during which they can find employment in other units, or leave China after the expiration of the visa. At the same time, all relationships will be dissolved, regardless of the original company.

3. The law stipulates that foreigners must cancel their work visas when they end their labor relations with the company. If they fail to go through the cancellation procedures according to law, the legal responsibilities of the unit and foreigners will be investigated.

Logoff method:

1. Application for cancellation by the employer: If the employer and the employee terminate the labor relationship due to legal reasons or consensus, the employer shall apply to the decision authority for cancellation within 10 working days from the date of occurrence of the reasons.

2. Individual application for cancellation by foreign employees: if the employing unit terminates, the applicant can apply for cancellation of the license by submitting an application and the certificate of termination of the employing unit to the decision body.

Secondly, automatic cancellation refers to the automatic cancellation of the foreigner's work permit in China after the expiration of its validity period.

Finally, the legal cancellation refers to the situation that the work permit of foreigners in China is revoked, withdrawn, and revoked by the legal institution.
