i have a f visa, 2 entries. is there a deadline to apply for residence permit?

Question

I arrived in Shanghai on the 28th of August, I have 90 days tu use my second entry. I plan to fly to Korea the first week of october. Can I apply for residence permit (to get more entries) after my trip? Or will it be too late?I am afraid I have not enough time to apply for residence permit BEFORE my trip, and as I know, my F visa is gonna be cancelled once I get the residence permit, so I don't want to lose my second entry with F visa by changing my visa before flying to Korea.Thank you!

Hi Marie, do you mean you have double entry F with 90 days each entry? if yes, you do not need to apply for a residence permit. Just make sure enter your second entry before your visa expires (before the date of ENTRY BEFORE), you are able to stay full 90 days in China.
