Work permit and visa renewal remote service (with same Employer)

10th Feb 2020 - To support the government policy of prevention and control of new coronavirus, we strongly suggest our clients stay safe at home and avoid any unnecessary meeting. For the work permit and work visa renewal (continue with the same company), VisainChina can help you do everything remotely.

Something you need to know in advance, there are 2 papers you need to renew:

1. First your Foreign Work Permit (FWP) - it’s a blue card.
It needs to be renewed 30-90 days in advance. Based on the new policy, we can renew your work permit WITHOUT your original passport, so it means even you are OUTSIDE of China, we still can help you to finish this one.

2. Second your Residence Permit (RP) in your passport.
You need to be physically inside of China, and then we can renew your residence permit. The government will keep your original passport for 7-8 working days.
As soon as your FWP renewal is done, You just need to do your RP renewal 1 working day before it expires, and If you are outside of China, you can even come back later after it expires, you just need to apply a new L or M visa to enter back to China within 3 month after your RP expires, we can still change it to RP again for you (because you FWP is already done)

Tips1: If you are inside of China, and want to leave China ASAP, but don’t know when will be back, then you can do FWP renewal first (Step 1+2+3, About 3 working days), and then leave China and do the RP renewal later after virus situation passed.

Tips2: If you are outside of China, and FWP and residence permit will expire, but you don’t know when will you be back. You can contact with us to do your FWP renewal remotely, and then enter China later to do the RP renewal after the virus situation passed
