Tips for Residence Permit
IMPORTANT TIPS, that may keep your time, nerves and money:
(1) CHECK ALL THE DOCUMENTS!
If the information is right: your name and surname spelling, date of birth, your passport number, right address, date of coming to China, date of entry to the dormitory (if you stay at the dormitory). If some information is spelled wrong, you need to correct the mistake.
(2) If you have two passports for travelling, try to issue all your documents to one passport (the list of docs see above).
Also if in one passport your name or (and) surname is spelled differently (for the reason of rules change, etc.) you should go to your consulate in Shanghai and ask for a document, confirming that both of your passports are issued for you, that you are the same person.
(3) Prepare CASH!
WeChat pay, Alipay, bank cards ARE NOT allowed to be used in visa centre. There is an ATM on the first floor, but it's not from any of Chinese major banks, be ready to pay the fee.
(4) Make all the copies BEFOREHAND. You can make the copies on the third floor at the counter around the corner. But you need cash to pay.
(5) If you want your documents to be delivered, you should buy an envelope for 25 RMB at the copy counter around the corner on the third floor. Again they receive ONLY cash.
(6) DO NOT throw away the receipt. If something is wrong, you will need the receipt to confirm your payment. Otherwise you will have to prepare all the docs again (including payment for the physical examination, payment for the residence permit, etc.).
(7) If your name on your residence permit or any other credentials is done with mistakes, you MUST correct them. To correct, you should go to the visa center.
