How to renew a foreigner’s visa when it expires?

Generally, you can go directly to the country’s visa center website to find the list of materials required for a visa. Before the visa you hold expires, fill in the application form and submit your passport or other international travel documents and photos that meet the regulations. Apply for a new visa to the entry-exit management department of the local public security bureau with relevant materials and the purpose of application. If approved by the exit and entry administration department of the public security organ, a new valid visa will be issued.

If it expires, you can go to the local Exit-Entry Administration Bureau to re-apply or apply for an extension. It is best not to exceed the time limit, otherwise you may be restricted from leaving the country. If the expiration date is too long, you will have to pay a fine if you go there.

From the above content, we can understand that foreigners need to reapply for a valid visa when their visa expires, otherwise they may be deported. I hope the above content can help you understand more legal knowledge.
