About:China Visa Renewal and Extension

New year, new job, new location

I have a Forwign Expert Certificate which together with my visa expires on July 15. I am currently working at a university in Baoding, but have been offered a job in Beijing next academic year, and want to go. They need my passport to apply for permit and I need my passport for travelling between the cities... How should I transfer? I do NOT want to return to Sweden but stay in China for two consecutive years. When should my new employer apply for my permit; now or when my present one is about to expire?

Can the PSB issue an extension of one month of the FRP without a contract renewal? Can I go myself to do this? Can I do it now or do I have to wait until a couple of weeks befor my present one expires?

Can I have the FRP changed into a one-month tourist type (L-type) for free? Can I do that myself? Can I do it now for 15/7-15/8 even though my FRP expires in July? I heard that if you do, the present one will be cancelled, so in that case that's not possible because I need my work permit.

Can I go to the PBS and have them give me a temporary document to be used for train tickets etc so that I can give my passprt tothe university in Beijing.

Hi, you can apply for a tourist L a week before your current residence permit expires. Generally it is ok for a stay of one more month, when you can send your passport to the university in Beijing for application for new work permit. Don't worry, you can do L application in person at local PSB and they will issue an receipt form (showing your application being processed) for use to stay/travel legally.

So a document can be issued while they have my passport...
Can the new employer apply for a new visa and Foreign Expert Certificate NOW for June 16 and a year ahead? Or do they have to wait until a week before my present ones expire?

Yes, the new employer can start now for application of work permit, but you have to quit your current job and get a release letter from the university in Baoding first.
