About:China Visa Renewal and Extension
Change from Resident Permit to Tourist Visa
Hello! I am currently a student studying in Shanghai on a Resident Permit. My family and I are booked for a tour in July, however, my current permit expires on June 30. Is it possible for me to apply for a Tourist L while still in China and before my permit expires?
