Dear all,
The laws and regulations for visa (residence permit) will be changed as follows from
1st July 2013.
1. Foreigners have to extend their residence permits 1 month before expiring date.
2. When extending the visa (residence permit) at the Police, the valid period of the new visa will start (and counted) from the 2nd day of the expiring date of your previous visa instead of the day when you are at the Police. That means no matter when you extend the visa at the Police, it will not change the fee cost.
3. If you did not extend your residence permit in time, you will face penalties which is up to 10000yuan. Therefore remember to check the valid period of your Residence Permit.
