Pakistani nationals travelling to China and residing here are advised:
Prohibition of Carrying Drugs
· Not to carry, use or bring into China any narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or other prohibited items. Travellers should pack their own baggage, declare all items truthfully to Customs and must not accept luggage, parcels or any other articles from unknown persons for carriage. Under China’s Criminal Law, drug trafficking is punishable regardless of quantity and serious cases may attract 15 years’ imprisonment, life imprisonment or the death penalty, in addition to confiscation of property.
Illegal Employment
· Not to engage in any form of illegal employment in China. Foreigners may work only with the requisite work permit and work-type residence permit. Any job, appointment or paid work undertaken on a study visa without authorization constitutes unlawful employment and may result in fines, cancellation of residence status and deportation from China in serious cases.
Renewal of Passports/visa
· To renew their passports well before expiry and should not wait until the last moment. Applicants should apply for a new passport six months before expiry.
· If the visa requires you to obtain residence permit, it should be applied within 30 days of arrival to avoid fine from relevant authorities
· Not to travel abroad after applying for a new passport until the new passport has been issued and received. As new passports are generally issued by the Directorate General of Immigration & Passport in Islamabad and transmitted to the Embassy or your address in China the updated passport particulars are reflected in the immigration system before the applicant is aware of. In such cases, travel on the old passport may create difficulties and prevent re-entry into China.
· To ensure that their valid residence permit is transferred to the new passport within 10 days of receipt of new passport, in accordance with the applicable regulations. Failure to comply with this formality within the prescribed period may result in administrative or immigration difficulties.
Registration and interaction with Embassy
· To register themselves with the Embassy through the “Register with the Embassy” facility available on the Embassy’s official website so that the mission may remain in contact with them and extend emergency assistance, when required.
· To attend the Embassy’s monthly community interaction meetings on a regular basis to stay abreast of policy guidelines, consular procedures and other important updates.
Maintain public order
· To respect the laws of the People’s Republic of China and to avoid immoral habits and behaviours that are inconsistent with local laws, public order, public decency and social norms. Disorderly conduct, violence, drunken misbehaviour and other unlawful acts may lead to serious legal consequences.
