RAEFC 29; Penalties for WP Fraud
The following provision of the Rules for the Administration of Employment of Foreigners in China (RAEFC) stipulates penalties for WP related fraud.
Note, though RAEFC was revised in 2017, the changes made were minimal so many terms are outdated. The Employment License (中华人民共和国外国人就业许可证书, first mentioned in RAEFC 5) is a no longer used document, somewhat like the presently used Work Permit Notification (WPN). The Employment Permit (外国人就业证) has been replaced by the WP. For more information on the WPN and WP see: “Why Your ‘Work Visa’ Won't Work.”
Article 29 - Penalties for WP Fraud
For foreigners and employers who forge, alter, falsely use, transfer, buy and sell the Employment Permit and the Employment License, the labor administrative authorities shall take over the Employment Permit and the Employment License in question, confiscate the illegal proceeds and impose a fine between ten thousand and one hundred thousand yuan. In serious cases which constitute a crime, their criminal responsibility of the perpetrators shall be looked into by the judicial authorities.
第二十九条
对伪造、涂改、冒用、转让、买卖就业证和许可证书的外国人和用人单位，由劳动行政部门收缴就业证和许可证书，没收其非法所得，并处以1万元以上10万元以下的罚款；情节严重构成犯罪的，移送司法机关依法追究刑事责任。
