Acutally, a client of our SMOOTH VISA had been investigated yesterday mornining too, being accompanied by our Legal Adviser.


The 2 hour long investigation all began with a phone call from a woman claiming to be police officer. According to her, the authority was conducting random investigation, and lucky enough, our client had been seleted.


The points of investigation seemed to be focused on the following issues:


1. Are there any activities beyond scopes prescribed in his Work Permit and Residence Permit for Work?


2. if the foreign national has been paying individual income tax as required by relevant laws and regulations since joining his employer?
