How to apply for a residence permit (ARC)?

 

How to get the certificate:

  1. First-time entry (admitted but not registered): After the applicant completes the payment in the online system, please download and print the electronic residence permit with a residence validity of six months, and completes the school registration process. Before the expiration date, you need to take the passport, the original electronic residence permit, and the two-inch half-length body front photo (taken within 2 years) for the extension of the residence validity period and renew the alien residence permit.
  2. First-time entry (admitted and registered): The applicant downloads and prints the online payment receipt from the online system, and please take it to the service counter to receive the alien residence permit after three working days.
  3. For non-first-time visitors: the applicant downloads and prints the online payment receipt from the online system, and please take it to the service counter to receive the alien residence permit (the old permit must be returned) after three working days.
