Q: I am an Italian student with a X1 visa; my residence permit expires on July 31, 2025, the same day I finish my internship here in Shanghai. How I can get an extension of my residence permit, even if it is only 10 days, to better prepare for my departure?

A: If you hold a residence permit for study, you may apply for a one-month stay permit within 10 calendar days after completing your studies, upon presentation of a certificate of withdrawal or graduation from the school.
