Max, I guess that you entered with the passport that has Q2 type, right? If so, you can’t apply for another residence permit with your older passport. According to the entry and exit management bureau, the applicants need to use the passports they entered to apply for extension or change their entry permit into temporary resident permit.
Usually, you will have an entry stamp on your passport when you entered. If you didn’t enter with your older passport, you shouldn’t have had the entry stamp. This stamp is your entry record. If you bring your older passport (without entry record) to the bureau, they can easily figure out you have another passport or you entered illegally. Under this circumstance, do you think they will approve your application?
Second, according to my knowledge, Q2 type can’t be changed into a temporary resident permit. So you can’t change it into a resident permit at local entry and exit bureau.
Lastly, I am curious how you can keep two valid passports. This is also the key to your question.
PS: the above is based on my personal knowledge. You can choose to accept it or not. If you have any doubt, you can visit local entry and exit mangement bureau for further consultation.
