Applying for a new type of Visa

Hi Alex, you can go to the Exit and Entry Management Office of the local PSB (Public Security Bureau) seven days before your residence permit expires. Take your passport, a copy of it, an application form, a recent half-length photo against light background, and a return ticket, perhaps plus a proof showing you have a place to stay, for example, hotel bookings. Then apply for a one-month L type. In normal cases, the officer will issue it to you.
