Work Permit and Z Visa Renewal in Beijing

Most of our visas are of a year's validity and need to be renewed each year.
Though our company pays for the visa renewal fees they do not reimburse the fees charged by agents who help get these renewed.
Last year I did it on my own and this year too I decided it was really easy and not worth paying 700rmb as commission to the agents.
This is the process, hope it helps all of you who are trying to renew your visas on your own.

1. Renewal of Work Permit

This needs to be done at the the office at Xuanwu District
Chinese address宣武区永内西街5号,中国北京劳动力市场一楼大厅 

Closest subway station: Caishikou (Line 4) or Hepingmen (Line 2) will need to take a cab/bus from there.

 Documents required: 
1. Police station registration certificate
2.Copy of your company's business licence
3.Application of your Employment Form, with a seal from your company. (Application can be filled in English/ Chinese)
4. Valid passport and copy
5.Work Permit book

The process takes 5 minutes and they give you your renewed work permit book immediately.

2.Renewal of Z visa
