Guidelines for Extending Work Permits for Foreigners in China

Introduction to Extending Work Permits for Foreigners in Hainan Island, China

Extending the validity period of a work permit is a crucial process for foreign personnel employed in China. It is essential to be aware of the application requirements and submission deadlines to ensure a smooth and timely renewal. This article provides guidelines on how to extend work permits for foreigners in China.

Deadline for Work Permit Extension Applications

According to the “Administrative Licensing Law of the People’s Republic of China,” foreign personnel seeking to extend the validity period of their work permit must submit their application to the administrative bureau that issued the permit. It is important to note that the application should be submitted 30 days before the expiration of the current permit.

Application Process for Extending Work Permits

To initiate the work permit extension process, foreign personnel should gather the necessary documents and complete the required application forms. These documents typically include a valid passport, a copy of the current work permit, employment contract or agreement, and any other supporting documents requested by the issuing authority.

Submission Requirements for Work Permit Extension Applications

When submitting the application, it is crucial to ensure that all required documents are included and properly filled out. Any missing or incomplete information may result in delays or rejection of the application. Additionally, it is recommended to double-check the accuracy of the provided information to avoid any discrepancies.

Consequences of Overdue Work Permit Extension Applications

As of February 28th, 2018, applications for extending work permits for foreigners in China must be submitted 30 days before the expiration of the current permit. It is essential to adhere to this deadline, as overdue applications will not be considered for extension and will be treated as new applications. To avoid any disruptions in your employment status, make sure to submit your work permit extension application on time.

Ensure a Smooth Work Permit Renewal Process

By following the guidelines outlined in this article, foreign personnel can navigate the process of extending their work permits in Hainan Island, China effectively.
