Forums > Living in Kunming > Must register new passport within 10 days This is a lie. You do not need a new visa in your new passport. This is their scam to make you pay a fine. The old visa/RP is still valid in the old passport. I specifically asked this question when I renewed my RP last year and the PSB officer told my wife clearly in chinese. NO, you do not need a new visa. The old visa is still valid. You just need to use both passports. This is why they do not issue RP for passports with less than 6 months validity.
This is why I still have not been fined because I told them this during the interview/ investigation.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Must register new passport within 10 days As someone mentioned before - this really is an old rule but has not been enforced before. I have not seen the previous edition of the Immigration laws so I really do not know if this is an old rule or a new rule.
They began enforcing this rule in 2013. Since passports are renewed every 10 years, there is ample opportunity for people to forget this obscure rule.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Must register new passport within 10 days The registration of your new passport is a new rule/law that just came out in July 2013. The registration must be done within 10 days of receipt of the new passport. Failure to so will result in up to a 2000 RMB fine.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Subway card Do you mean to say that the New card can be used for BOTH - Bus and Subway? Please explain.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Must register new passport within 10 days This process is still not over. I had to be interviewed as part of an investigation as to why I broke the immigration laws of China. I told them this law is brand new (July 2013) and many people are not aware of this new change.
Also, the PSB staff in TuoDong Road are not even aware of this new law and this is why this investigation is handled by another office.
