About:8 Tips for Filling Out Chinese Visa Application Form

Had a previous passport, now applying for new z visa

I renewed my passport my last few months in China (previously worked there 3 years(, as such the only visa in my new passport for China is the T visa I exited on. There is no residence permit in my current passport.

On the application form it asks if I've ever had a residence permit before. I worked there for 3 years, so I of course have had one. However it is in my old passport with my old passport number.

Should I add this to my Z visa form or no? It asks me for the residence permit number, I'm just worried it'll flag my application and they'll deny it because the residence permit is attached to a passport number that doesn't match the passport number of this application.

Additionally, the only visa in my new passport is a T visa, the visa you exit on. However when applying for a new z visa, when asked if had a previous visa T is not an option on the drop down menu. Does it go by another code? If not, do I just put down my last visa in my old passport? which would be my first z visa

You should say yes about the previous residence permit and put in the permit no. Although the passport no. has changed, it has little influence on this new application as your resident permit has been registered in China. You should choose Z visa for the previous visa part as the stay visa T is the special humanitarianism visa, not a normal one. And you should preserve your old passport with previous visa well as it's the supportive document for your new application.
