residence permit renewal
Hi,
I am a teacher in Hunan, China and my residence permit ends on July 29th of this year. I will be going back home to America for 2 months before coming back to teach in Hunan again for another 10 months. Is it possible for me to just renew my residence permit for another year after I have returned to China?
My employer is telling me I need to do it before I leave for America, costing me double because it is more than 365 days, but everything I have read implies that I have 30 days to get the residence permit after I enter China again to work.
I just don't want to be paying 800 yuan for a residence permit that I will not be using for 2 months. I would much rather pay the normal 400 yuan amount for a residence permit that I will use.
Any information would be appreciated.

Since your res. permit will expire while you're overseas, then you will need to apply for a NEW Z-visa and go through all the processes to get a residence permit again.

HI there,
You'd better renew your Z b4 you go back America as its earsier to just renew it rather than when ur back Hunan apply for everything from the beginning.

Re: residence permit renewal
ok, so getting the new residence permit acts as getting a new Z visa basically?
So if I get this residence permit, then I won't have to go through the process of getting a new Z visa when I go back to America? I can just come back to China with my new residence permit and that's fine?
Sorry if these questions are a bit ignorant, I just want to make sure that I am doing everything right.

Hi,
You are right, if you extended your residence permit b4 you go back to America, you just need to come back with RP rather than applyin Z and do everything again from the beginning.
Good luck.
