　　The policy affects only people whose residency permits are based on a family visit visa. It does not change the time for foreigners living and working in Beijing under a work visa.

　　该政策仅对持有探亲签证的家庭成员的居留时间有影响，不改变持有工作签证在北京居住和工作的外国人的居留时间。

　　Under the new policy, anyone applying for renewal of a residency permit will not be required to hand in certain papers, such as a marriage certificate, to prove a relationship with a Chinese citizen.

　　新政策下，任何申请更新居留许可证的成员都无需提交一些必要文件，例如可以证明与中国公民婚姻关系的结婚证书。

　　该政策只是众多最新实施的政策中的一个，这些最新政策都是为了精简外国人居留北京的程序。国外申请人通过工作签证申请居留许可证时无需提供他们工作地点的营业执照的副本。

　　Lin Song, a police officer at the Department of Entry and Exit in Beijing, said foreign applicants need to apply for renewal of their residency in China no more than 30 days before the residency permit expires.

　　林宋强调，不在酒店居住的外国人在当地公安局登记之后可以在当地停留24小时。留宿他们的个人也可以办理登记。

　　To assist Chinese nationals traveling outside the mainland, an additional 25 police stations in the city were authorized¹¹ to receive applications for passports and other certificates for Chinese citizens to enter and exit the country, bringing the number to 47 in its nine districts.
