Your X1 visa is a student visa valid for 3 months, single entry. You need to be in China before it expires. You need to register for the permit within 30 days of entry at the PSB. Your school should be telling you this, no? What kind of school doesn't tell it's students all the visa issues anyway?

sirdr:

Thanks. I was suppose to register for summer but I got a late visa, so I replied for spring just wanna know if I enter by 30th I can get a resident permit within 15 days. Without issue cos my school registration will be 17th which is like 2days after the expire date of my visa.

some of my foreign friends in China are also students, and they tell me their International Offices are next to useless when telling them things they need to know.

Enter China before your visa expires. Simples.  Don't worry about your residence permit. Your school will sort that out for you.

 

Turn up at the border with an expired visa and they won't let you in. Same as any other country.  

sirdr:

Thanks hope 30th is not too late?

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
