What if the Chinese work visa expires?

Foreigners holding Chinese work visas, if there is no change in their work units and positions, need to go through the extension procedures for foreigners' work permits and work-type residence permits in advance when their visas are about to expire.

If you are a foreigner who has changed jobs, you need to update your work permit and work-type residence permit as required. Many foreign friends think that their work visa does not need to be renewed within the validity period after changing jobs. This is wrong and must be renewed.

If you are a foreign family member of a foreign staff member, you can generally apply for a private affairs residence permit as required, and its validity period can be consistent with the validity period of the work residence permit held by the employed person. (Foreign children under the age of 18 can also apply)
