❌ 8 Fatal Mistakes & Real Cases｜8大致命错误+真实案例

Mistake 1: Document Forgery (Academic Degree/Work Experience)错误1：材料造假（学历/工作经历）

Case: A US expat forged a domestic university degree to apply for a work permit in Shanghai. During the official verification, the degree was identified as fake. He was rejected and banned from applying for Chinese work visas for 2 years, and the enterprise was fined 10,000 yuan for failing to verify materials.案例：某美国籍人士为办理上海工作许可，伪造国内高校学历，官方核验时发现学历造假，不仅申请被驳回，还被限制2年不得申请中国工作签，雇佣企业因未履行材料核验义务被罚款1万元。Policy Basis: According to the "Exit-Entry Administration Law", forgers will be fined 5,000-20,000 yuan, with entry ban for 1-5 years; enterprises will be held liable for failing to perform verification obligations.

政策依据：依据《出境入境管理法》，造假者将被处5000-20000元罚款，1-5年入境限制；企业未履行核验义务需承担连带处罚。

Mistake 2: Unrecognized Academic Qualifications错误2：学历不被认可

Case: A Japanese expat used a degree from a non-MOE-recognized overseas college to apply for a Class B work permit. The application was rejected because the degree lacked authentication from the Chinese Embassy and MOE academic verification. He had to re-authenticate, delaying the process by 1 month.

案例：一名日本籍外籍人士使用非教育部认可的海外院校学位申请B类工作许可，因该学位未获中国大使馆及教育部学术认证而遭拒，需重新认证，导致申请流程延误1个月。

Policy Basis: Academic qualifications must be recognized by China’s Ministry of Education, with consular authentication for foreign degrees; unrecognized degrees cannot be used for work permit applications.

政策依据：学历须经中国教育部认可，外国学历需经领事认证；未获认可的学历不得用于工作许可申请。

Mistake 3: Non-Qualified Employer错误3：雇主资质不符

Case: A Russian expat was hired by a Shanghai startup, but the enterprise had no foreign-related employment permit. The work permit application was rejected, and the startup had to go through the qualification approval first, resulting in a 2-month delay.案例：某俄罗斯籍人士被上海某初创公司聘用，因该公司未取得涉外就业许可资质，工作许可申请被驳回，公司需先办理资质审批，导致流程延误2个月。

Policy Basis: Enterprises hiring foreigners must hold a "Foreigners Employment Permit for Enterprises" or be qualified for foreign-invested enterprise registration; unqualified enterprises cannot apply for work permits for expats.政策依据：雇佣外籍人士的企业需持有《企业聘用外国人就业许可证书》，或具备外资企业注册资质；无资质企业无法为外籍人士申请工作许可。

Mistake 4: Non-Compliant Document Translation错误4：材料翻译不合规

Case: A South Korean expat translated his degree by himself without an official translation agency seal. The application was rejected because the translation lacked compliance. He had to re-translate with a qualified agency, wasting 1 week.案例：某韩国籍人士自行翻译学历文件，未加盖正规翻译机构公章，申请因翻译件不合规被驳回，需重新找有资质机构翻译，白白浪费1周时间。

Policy Basis: All non-Chinese documents must be translated by qualified agencies, with translation seal + employer seal; self-translation or unqualified translation is invalid.政策依据：所有非中文材料需由有资质翻译机构翻译，加盖翻译公章及雇主公章；自行翻译或无资质翻译件均无效。

Mistake 5: Overdue Application错误5：逾期办理

Case: A German expat entered China with a Z visa but applied for a work permit 18 days later, exceeding the 15-day limit. He was fined 1,000 yuan and had to supplement materials, delaying the approval by 2 weeks.案例：某德国籍人士持Z签入境后，第18天才申请工作许可，超出15天办理时限，被罚款1000元，还需补充说明材料，审批流程延误2周。

Policy Basis: Foreigners with Z visas must apply for work permits within 15 days of entry; overdue applications will be fined 500-2000 yuan, with delayed approval.政策依据：持Z签入境人员需在15天内申请工作许可；逾期办理将处500-2000元罚款，且审批流程顺延。

Mistake 6: Mismatched Work Content & Permit错误6：工作内容与许可不符

Case: A French expat applied for a work permit as a "marketing specialist" but actually engaged in teaching work. The violation was found during a spot check, and his work permit was revoked, with a 6-month entry ban.案例：某法国籍人士以“市场专员”身份申请工作许可，实际从事教学工作，抽查时被发现违规，工作许可被吊销，还被限制6个月不得入境。

Policy Basis: Work content must be consistent with the work permit; inconsistent work will be deemed illegal employment, with revoked permits and entry bans.政策依据：实际工作内容需与工作许可载明一致；岗位不符将被认定为非法就业，吊销许可并限制入境。

Mistake 7: Invalid No-Criminal Record Certificate错误7：无犯罪记录证明无效

Case: A Canadian expat used a 1-year-old no-criminal record certificate without consular authentication. The application was rejected because the certificate was expired and unauthenticated. He had to re-apply for the certificate and authentication, delaying 3 weeks.案例：某加拿大籍人士使用1年前的无犯罪记录证明，且未办理领事认证，因证明过期且无认证被驳回，需重新申请证明及认证，延误3周。

Policy Basis: No-criminal record certificates must be issued within 6 months, with consular authentication for foreign certificates; expired or unauthenticated certificates are invalid.政策依据：无犯罪记录证明需在6个月内出具，境外证明需附加领事认证；过期或无认证证明均无效。

Mistake 8: Unqualified Medical Examination Report错误8：体检材料不合格

Case: A Russian expat submitted a medical report from a non-designated hospital. The report was rejected because it lacked the seal of a hospital recognized by Shanghai Exit-Entry Administration. He had to re-examine at a designated hospital, wasting 10 days.案例：某俄罗斯籍人士提交非指定医院出具的体检报告，因缺少上海出入境认可的医院公章被驳回，需到指定医院重新体检，浪费10天时间。

Policy Basis: Medical reports must be issued by hospitals designated by local exit-entry authorities; reports from non-designated hospitals are unaccepted. 政策依据：体检报告需由当地出入境指定医院出具；非指定医院报告不予受理。
