Foreigners must get a housing registration form within the 24 hours after their arrival in China. In most cases a temporary housing registration form has to be filled in. If you live on the campus of China Medical University or a hotel, simply go to the local police station with seniors or friends . If you rent an apartment off campus, you must visit the local police station promptly with your landlord.
Please note that if you have renewed your passport or visa, or changed your address, you must re-apply for a new housing registration form. Failure to do so, you will be regarded as an illegal resident and fined up to 2000RMB.
