English Key Points

The Exit and Entry Administration Law, adopted June 30, 2012 and effective July 1, 2013, governs foreigners' entry, stay, residence, employment and exit — the basic statute every foreigner in China deals with.

• Visas and exemptions (Arts. 16, 22): four visa categories (diplomatic, courtesy, official, ordinary); visa-free entry in prescribed cases (bilateral agreements, 24-hour transit without leaving the port, valid residence permits).
• Stay extension (Art. 29): for stays up to 180 days, apply 7 days before expiry; total extension may not exceed the original duration; leave on time if denied.
• Residence permits (Art. 30): apply within 30 days of entry where required; work-type permits valid 90 days to 5 years, non-work-type 180 days to 5 years.
• Accommodation registration (Art. 39): hotels register guests with public security; elsewhere, register with the local PSB within 24 hours of arrival.
• Employment (Arts. 41, 43): a work permit plus a work-type residence permit is required; working without one, beyond its scope, or student part-time work in violation of the rules counts as illegal employment.
• Exit bans (Art. 28): no exit for those serving criminal sentences, criminal suspects/defendants, or parties to unsettled civil cases barred by court order.
• Permanent residence (Arts. 47, 48): China's “green card” for foreigners of outstanding contribution or meeting other conditions, approved by the Ministry of Public Security.
• Penalties (Arts. 76–80): illegal residence fined RMB 500/day up to RMB 10,000, or 5–15 days' detention; illegal employment RMB 5,000–20,000; hiring illegal workers RMB 10,000 per person up to RMB 100,000.
