China Residence Permits are issued for foreigners who want to work, study, or have family member in China.
It works like a multiple-entry visa, allowing holders to leave China and return without an additional visa as long as the permit remains valid.
If you are holding the visa in category Z, X1, Q1 and S1, you have 30 days (from the day you entered China) to convert your China visa into Residence Permit.
In order to receive a China Residence Permit, you will have to provide the following documents:
- Passport with the respective visa matching the residence permit you are applying for
- A passport photo (Photo Requirements of Chinese Visa)
- Accomodation Registration Form (Formerly Registration Form of Temporary Residence)
- Application Form
- Health Check Report
- Employment Permit (Z), Kinship Certificate(Q1)
In most case, the Residence Permit renews annually, but from Mar 8th 2016，Family Residence Permit holders can extend it for 2 years in Beijing.
A family member of a Chinese citizen－including a spouse, spouse's parent, spouse's child, or spouses of children－is now allowed to live in Beijing for two years. Formerly, their permit required renewal annually.
