About:Chinese Temporary Residence Permit

I've been working in Shanghai for almost 3 years with a Z-Visa & Chinese Temporary Residence Permit. My compony decided to terminate my contract by end of Oct 2010 as my Visa and Residence Permit will expire by end of Oct 2010. I found a new Company in Qingdao which is willing to hire me in Qingdao. I need to renew my Visa and Residence Permit before they expire by end of Oct 2010 (1.5 months from today). My questions are :

1. Is my case consider as "renewing" residence permit even with a new employer? Or I need to undergo the new application process from step one, all over again? Can I renew my Visa and Residence Permit with the same renewing steps I used to do every year? (Note : the focus now is a new employer and a new province (Shanghai & Qingdao).


2. If I can renew everything, is there any difference or additional procedure apart from the standard renewing procedure that I had undergo when my Visa and Residence Permit expires each year?

3. If I can renew, do you think 1.5 months is sufficient?

Appreciates your quick response. Thank you

No, Mr.Tan, what you need to do is not renew your visa and residence permit, but to apply for new ones since your are going to start a new job in Qingdao. Your employer need to help you with a employment permit as you apply at first time. Then apply for a work visa and a residence permit. It is worthwhile to find you a visa agency if you want to save time.

Thanks, Mrs. Enld. In that case, that would be a totally new application. That would mean I can't make any use of my current working permit and residence permit? Can I do any amendment on my current working permit and residence permit? I'm trying to avoid a new application as I have done it before, could be tricky and time-consuming.
Appreciate your kind advice.
