Serious Consequences of Not Canceling a Company Properly

Recently, the Exit-Entry Bureau in Shanghai has been conducting close inspections on companies opened by expats. For companies that cannot pass the inspections, the visas of relevant personnel could be seriously affected.

If a company opened by foreigners in China cannot operate normally, the company needs to be canceled in time.

Consequences of not deregistering the company?

01

The visas of legal persons/investors cannot be extended or canceled, and they cannot be legally employed in the future.

If the company sponsors work visas of legal persons or investors, it will be required to provide proof of the company's normal operations during extension or canceling. 

If the proof cannot be provided, the permits cannot be extended or canceled. If the work permit cannot be canceled, the person cannot apply for a work permit for other work. Therefore the applicant cannot be legally employed.

NOTE

Proof of the company's normal operations generally include: 

1)  Fapiaos for business transactions

2)  Company bank account

3)  Proof of hiring Chinese employees
