The time limit for foreigners to renew their new five-star cards (new permanent residence identity cards) is generally 3-4 months. If this time is exceeded, there may be some special circumstances or delays.
These situations may include but are not limited to:
1. The application materials are incomplete or need to be supplemented.
2. Additional checks or background checks are required during the approval process.
3. The delay in administrative processing may be due to a large workload or internal process issues.
If you encounter a situation where you have been renewing your five-star card for more than six months, it is recommended that you directly contact the Exit Entry Administration Bureau or Chinese diplomatic and consular agencies that handle the renewal to understand the specific reasons for the delay and the current progress of the process. Meanwhile, you can inquire whether there is a possibility of expediting the processing or if you need to provide additional information or documents.
