Notice - Applicant for Residence Permit
 
1. Applicant for Residence Permit must make application in person at the police station every time when applying for the Residence Permit.
2. Part-time Work: foreign students are permitted to do part-time work in China now. The university should issue a Consent Letter; the hiring company should issue a Certification; the police station will then mark on your visa "Part-time-work; Part-time-study". The hiring company cannot be changed; expect high amount of fine if you violate this law.
3. The Visa & Residence Permit processing time is longer now. You will probably get your passport again 20 days after you make the application.
4. Calculation of the Residence Permit: Applicant must make application during 30 days upon arrival
5. No matter any of your relatives comes to visit you, you should report to the Police Station; if there is no significant/serious reason of leaving China, no report is required when your relative leaves China. Dropping-out or quitting-school students must report to the Police Station when leaving China.
