Visa's and Other Services for Foreigners
 
The Exit-Entry Appliation Office (出入境办证大厅) handles issues for foreigners including visa extensions.
 
It is located on the south-east corner of Moling Lu and Fengfu Lu (秣陵路和丰富路的东南角落).  Services for foreigners are on the West wing of the building.
 
Central Office Phone Number
 
The staff here only speak Chinese.  This is the first number to call to obtain any contact information if you can speak Chinese.  Dial (025) 84420114.
 
Temporary Residence Permits
 
Temporary Residence Permits are needed to stay anywhere in Nanjing.  Students should have this done for them by their University. 
 
If you are renting an apartment you should go to the nearest police station to obtain your permit.  It's quite simple and can be done in 20 minutes.  The trick is that the police stations are not likely to have staff available that can speak English or any language other than Mandarin and Nanjinghua (Nanjing dialect).
