Onik, after your contract ends, you cannot continue your work in China. It's possible to cancel your work permit and residence permit first and then apply for a one-month L type, but I'm not sure wether the officer can issue you an L type valid for a few months. Anyway, your Z type cannot be extended if you don't want to continue to work in PRC.

thank you barry, followup question.my visa and permit will expire on the same day sept30, when is the best time to apply for the L type so as to maximize the 1month extension?

Barry · Answer

You should apply for it seven days before your residence permit expires.
