hello - i currently hold a 60 day m-visa. i exited the country before my 60th day

Question

and re-entered for another 30 days, for a total of 90 days in country this calendar year. is there a maximum number of days I can be in country with in a calendar year? I am scheduled to return to China for work for 3 weeks in November, and want to confirm if I need to apply for a residency permit, or if there is a maximum number of days within a calendar year? I have never exceeded my 60-day duration on a single trip. Thank you!

Sal, there is not maximum number of days you are allowed to spend in China in a calendar year. You don't need to get the residency permit. But if you work for a Chinese company and gain salary from it, you may need to pay income tax if the total stay duration in a year is more than 183 days.
