work visa expired

Question

Hi guys,I've been working in China and resigned about a week ago. The company I was working for said my Z type would expire on the 30th of April. Problem is they still have my passport and I haven't been able to leave the country. They told me that it was the Chinese consulate and due it being labour weekend they were not open. I am worried that the only availability for a flight back to South Africa is on the 7th. Will the migration not hold me up for having an expired entry permit? What can I do?Asanda

Asanda, I’m really confused. How could your company keep your passport? Anyway, they have no reason to keep it. However, you don’t need to worry about it. After your Z type is cancelled, the immigration office will issue you a one-month L type if everything goes well, so that you can stay legally within this one-month period.
