Read my previous post about Nanning, Guangxi.
After 13 years in Yunnan, it is time to move. I plan to stay 3 years in Nanning and then head east to either Ningbo, Xiamen, or Suzhou.

This process take 20-30 days so do NOT delay. Your wife must prove she is a resident so she will need rental contract or letter from employer or student ID card.

1 year RP = 400 RMB - No physical required.
2 year RP = 800 + 472 (Physical) = 1272 RMB. For the older folks - I recommend you do the 1 year RP just in case you have some medical issues that may hinder you from remaining in China.

- Travel: The receipt you are issued can be used for travel purposes along with a copy of your passport and previous RP. You will be without a passport while the PSB is waiting to issue you a new RP.

- NOTE: For those who have been living in China for some time and have been re-issued new passports, I highly recommend you take the time to get the Police Clearance (Criminal Background Check) completed before departing Kunming. This form will be required if you move to another province or if you are returning to your home country.

Kunming opens province's first 'baby refuge'
发布者Thanks, I have a student who was abandoned and later adopted. I have spoken with the parents at length and they agreed to let the teenage girl visit this site. She has many questions about her past and this is just one step in helping her find her roots/identity and also knowing she is not alone.
