Hey all! I was wondering how much time does one have to obtain the residence permit once you enter China?
I was planning on flying into China on October 3rd, but with the holiday and all my employer said it would be better if I flew in on the 8th so that everyone would be in the office and (obviously) it would be more convenient for them to show me around and take care of all the paperwork and such that is needed.
The problem is, I kinda don't want to sit around any longer and wait to go to China =p I was thinking of still flying in on the 3rd but maybe going to Shanghai to visit some friends and stay with them for the holiday. My only concern is that if I flew in a week early, maybe this would put me dangerously close to missing the deadline for applying for a residence permit? What do you guys think... is this plan a bad idea? Thanks in advance!
