Starting from Guangzhou immigration office, they strictly check the tax payment and the running of a company when releasing work visa and work visa extension. Even you get the work visa, they may further check your company, it seems to there is a trend on tightening the release of work visa.<\/p>\n

Work Visa May Get Revoked <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If your company fails their further investigation, your work visa may get revoked. Here is a case:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

A foreigner got his work visa and residence in April this year, but his passport was taken by the immigration office recently, the officer just left him a receipt and told him to wait for further informed. What happened here?
<\/span><\/p>\n

Actually, the immigration office has already been to his company to have an investigation before, the officers found out it’s a crappy office without any desk and the door was even closed. A week is already passed until now, but he still not yet get informed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though we don’t know what kind of applicants will be investigated by the immigration office, there are certain important things you should prepare for the unexpected investigation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Pay Attention to The Following<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

1.  <\/span><\/strong>Your Company Legally Pays Tax <\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For a company, which has set up for at least half of a year, the immigration office will check its <\/span>tax payment record<\/strong> when its foreign staff applying for a work visa or work visa extension. If your company didn’t pay it, we suggest you contact your consultant to pay it back and have a tax payment plan for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.  Provide True Information<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Systems between governments are connected after the reform of “five certificates in one”. Your tax payment record in the local Taxation Bureau is shared by the immigration office. Though they still request you to provide a paper, <\/span>just to have a test on your honesty.<\/strong> Same for other information you provide, they always have ways to check on it, so it’s not smart to take a risk on that.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\n

3.  <\/span><\/strong>Pick Up Calls From Immigration<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The immigration office randomly gives a call to certain applicants’ company to ask for further information, to know more details about the company’s business and how it is running. You have to make sure there is always someone SMART to pick up the phone of your company.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
