Graduates: Make Sure To Cancel Your Residence Permit!

If you just graduated recently and are planning to stay longer in China before your visa expires, pay attention: don't forget to cancel your residence permit for study (). Otherwise, youre likely to face serious punishments.


Punishments for not canceling the residence permit:

Since you are technically still holding a student visa, the residence permit for study must be canceled even though your student visa has not expired. Otherwise you might:

  • have a bad record

  • be fined

  • have problems applying for other types of Chinese visas

  • be deported


Notice: 

The residence permit for study needs to be canceled within 10 calendar days (including weekends and holidays) after you received the graduate certificate. So please pay attention to the official graduation date on your diploma!
