![]() | I think that person got off easy, JIMMYB. I believe the person can be fined upto 500 RMB for every day that they fail to register. My gal & I just discussed this for my Spring Festival trip. She offered to let me stay in her home, which I would love to do, but knew of the law. She said the registration process is difficult. I will stay at the hotel down the road. |

![]() | Some of that seems a bit dated. The 'residence card' is now the residence permit which is a looks like a c\visa and is pasted in your passport like a visa isn't it? I wonder how many foreigners are here illegally under the section that forbids residency to persons with a venereal disease or STD as they are more usually called these days. Studies suggest that more than 20% of adults in many western countries have genital herpes - so does everyone so afflicted conscientiously excludes themselves from China? I think that must remain a rhetorical question. Griz: I didn't think anyone worried about filling out the residency form these days when staying with friends. Most people laugh when I have suggested it. I filled out the forms when I first came to my current college as I started teaching without a Z visa (which the PSB and the local police were fully aware of). Sure it took some time, but I think it was only because it is a one-horse town and I was his first; my passport is full of Chinese visas and entry exit stamps; and one old visa has fallen out because of the poor quality gum they used. |
