Work and residence permit update

It is difficult to help you. What is your nationality? What is your visa class? Where did you get the visa and how log have you had it? If you have a residency , then what do you o for a living? What city are you in? Are you married?

China is a big country, after all with many people in very different situations.

Hello and thanks for your answer.

Some more info...

I am Italian, married, my Visa Class is Z, and I have an "A" level work permit. I have the Visa since the 01/09/2017, and I am currently a senior research fellow at Sun Yat-Sen U., with a contract running from the 01/09/2017 to the 31/08/2020. The work permit was awarded on the 13/09/2017 and officially expires on the 31/08/2020. The residence permit was awarded on the 25/09/2017 and officially expires on the 25/03/2019. I live in Guangzhou.

If further information is needed, I can fill in.

Thanks again and best,

Francesco

EDIT: I obtained work and residence permit in Guangzhou, but I obtained the Z Visa while I was working in Sweden,  16/08/2017.
