In reply to Tom Raymond. No, they don't keep tabs on your residence permit. Likewise, you don't need to report to your bank when your residence permit is renewed.

In reply to Graham R. Will the bank close your account (suspend ) if your resident permit expires ?

Hi Josh. I HAVE been IN China almost4 years and i am frustrated. I HAVE BEEN OPERATING WITH CASH ALL ALONG AND IT IS GETTING TOO DIFFICULT. I HAVE TRIED VARIOUS BANKS And CAN NOT FIND ONE TO HELP ME. I AM RETIRED AND RECEIVE RENTAL INCOME FROM Sa and some money from my daughter for day to day expenses. I HAVE MY OWN APARTMENT AND A LONG TERM FAMILY VISA and a residence permit BUT THEY SAY I NEED A WORKING PERMIT AND THATS IT. CAN ANYONE PLEASE GIVE A SPECIFIC BRANCH IN SHANGHAI WHERE THEY WERE HELPED?

In reply to Van. You should as long as you get a residence permit, but for 6 months - is it really worth it?

In reply to Sunniesa (Sunnie) Rogers. Back in 2002? You probably didn't. But you do now if you want to open a new bank account in China.

I just discovered my 2002 SAVING account Passbook from Bank of China(GUANGZHOU). Do you know IF I needed to provide proof of residency when opening my account? I know this is an odd question but could really use some help.

In reply to Teodora Kuleva. You can't, unfortunately. At least, not at this point.
