Tips

Working hours of police stations:

8:30am-12:00am, 2:00pm-5:00pm;

Working hours of Exit and Entry Administration Department:

8:30 am-12:00am, 2:00pm-5:00pm.

During daily working hours, you’d better arrange an employee in the office instead of letting it empty for a long time; besides, you may leave a notice when you are outside for work:

Please contact our employee by calling “xxxxx” if the police officers come and inspect. We will arrange employee to go back to the office as soon as possible.

We suggest that you should maintain a good relationship with management office and landlord, and should pay the rent, utility bills and management fee on time for the reason that police officers may consult the management office and landlord directly about the office situation of your company.

Contradiction with landlord may result in he/she refusing to cooperate with the police officers, which may affect your visa application.

During the period of visa application, applicant must stay in the office and keep the fixed phone and mobile available.
