Employers shall verify if international and overseas Chinese graduates agree to the continued employment by the same employer within two to four months before the expiration of the current employment permit. If international and overseas Chinese graduates agree to continued employment, employers shall apply for extension of the employment permit of international and overseas Chinese graduates to the Ministry of Labor. If international and overseas Chinese graduates are unwilling to continue employment and want to return to their native country, employers shall complete the offboarding procedures for international and overseas Chinese graduates within 14 days before the expiration of their employment permit.
