I will study in Beijing for one year. So I have to apply for a residence permit within 30 days of my arrival. You need certain documents to apply for the residence permit, two of which you only get at the immatriculation at your university. (My university told me so and it's also in on the Chinese website of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau.) That means I can only apply for the residence permit after November 1st, the day of my immatriculation. I didn't know of this before, so I booked a flight for July 18th. The time between July 18th and November first is more than 30 days, so I cannot appy for my residence permit within the first 30 days, unless I change my flight to a later date.
