Practical links for people who just got to Shenzhen.

Visa nudge签证提醒

Overstaying is expensive and hard to undo. Tell us when you entered and how many days your stay allows, and we will email you before it runs out.

How the dates work

China counts the permitted stay from the day after you enter, so a 30-day stay beginning on the 1st runs through the 31st. The number you want is the 每次入境停留期 — the duration of each stay — from the visa or the stamp in your passport, not the visa’s expiry date. Those are different things, and the stamp is what a border officer goes by.

What you will get

One email 30, 14, 7, 3 and 1 days before your last permitted day, and one more on the day itself. They arrive in the morning, Shenzhen time. Every email has a link that stops them, and nothing is scheduled until you click the link in the confirmation email.

The part we cannot do for you

SZSTUFF is an independent site, not an immigration authority, and a reminder is only as accurate as the dates you type in. If you extend your stay, change visas or leave early, cancel the reminder and set a new one. The disclaimer spells out how this can fail and why it should never be the only thing between you and an overstay. Questions: info@szstuff.com.
