Q: Are you supposed to notify the PSB when you change phone numbers?

When my visa is close to expiring, I usually get a text message from the PSB. I assume that providing a valid contact number is important for them to get in touch with you. So, what happens when you change numbers? Is there some kind of law that says you have to notify them within 24 hours? It wouldn't surprise me!

PSB has never gotten my phone number. When we have applied for residence permits/visas my wife has handled the paperwork thus used her own phone number. 

They have never done any notification about expirery though.

I have never given them my number and ,if I can help it, don't intend too. Doesn't seem to be any real justification for it.

 

Wouldn't worry about it.

Point blank: you don't need to update your phone number, it sounds like you're scared to death to live in China.

Normally we need to fill in the form with 2 phone number. They will use another phone number to contact you if the former one unavailable.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
