I'm sorry if this topic is getting old but I'm constantly getting mixed answers and I really need to know. My current Z visa expires in the middle of February. (Well, it's technically a Residence Permit but you know what I mean.) I'm currently in Guangdong. I'm talking with schools in both Hunan and Jiangxi. What I need to know, basically, is can I go to a different province and just get my current documents renewed or is a trip out of the country going to be needed? It seems even the folks at the schools don't know. Has anyone does this relatively recently because it seems the regulations are constantly changing. Thanks.
