Can my baby apply for a permanent residence permit or any other type of visa?

Renee, I’m afraid your baby cannot apply for permanent residence permit, but you can apply for a temporary residence permit for your baby. You need to provide the baby’s passport, your passport, the application form, a passport-style photo, valid registration form of temporary residence, study permit, as well as original birth certificate and its copy, and other materials the consular officers consider necessary. Afterwards, go to the exit and entry administration of the local PSB to submit the application. It may take 2 to 3 weeks and cost CNY400. This fee is for reference only.
