Renewing residence permit late
So Im a student in Shanghai and I couldnt renew my residence permit before I went back to my home country. What should I do? Some people tell me to apply for tourist type and then for residence permit once I get back to SH. I think student type is safer but I dont have the forms since im the ''old student''. Your opinion?
