Can I return to China after my passport expires?

If the passport itself expires, you will apply to the embassy for an extension. The extension period is basically one year, which is enough time for returning to China. Those who hold a long-term visa or residence permit and intend to live in a foreign country for a long time will be directly replaced with a new passport (more than one year), and the old photo number will be written in the remarks of the new photo. When you leave this country for the first time, you should take old photos just in case.
