02-24-2015, 07:43 AMI've got a question that I am sure has been answered many times in the past but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.
I'm currently on a business visa (M) multiple entry for 1 year. I dont normally stay in Shanghai for much longer than a month at a time but due to work commitments I will be here for a little longer than usual throughout this year and the next.
I have checked how to get a license plenty of times and even before the new year called to check if I can take the test both practical and written exam in order to get a motorcycle license. Today I called to confirmed that I can use my temporary residence permit in order to get the license and was with replied with a slight laugh and a 不可以. When I asked why it was confirmed I need to be on a work visa or a student visa in order to get this kind of license...
Now, I know many people on here have the license and have gone down many roads to get it. Now my question is, can I not use my temporary residence permit? If not, then I'm assuming I can't get the license.
I apologize is this has already been covered many times and if someone can either let me know the correct answer or send me a link to a thread which states the answer I'll ver much appreciate it.
Thanks, Josh

I can't see why you can't many people just use a tourist visa and in some provinces will except a 3 month visa but most want at least a 6 month visa so I am sure you will be fine , please keep the forum updated on your progress Josh
And good luck"Arguing on the Internet is like running in the Special Olympics, even if you win you're still retarded"

02-26-2015, 09:27 AMThanks for the advice and encouragement gentlemen.
Today I decided I would go to a few schools and find out, I took my girlfriend along just in case I missed anything important (my Chinese isn't the best).
Anyway, I was told I could use my temporary resident permit to apply for the license and also take the two test.
Hopefully there is a light at the end of the tunnel but the process has for sure not fully started yet.
I will use this thread to keep things up to date.
I also checked the price of a 250 qingqi in the local dealer new my apartment. The bike itself will cost ¥9,000 and the lovely Shanghai 户C will cost ¥20,000. This is what I was told by the dealer anyway.
If anyone has any input on the price and the plate etc. Please let me know
Josh

¥20,000 for 户C plate is the right price... :-(

I guess the price is what it is, I try to think of it as an investment rather than anything.
If I really wanted to I could register a bike in my girlfriends hometown for less than ¥2000 but I just feel having the correct Shanghai C is better than having a different province plate. I always feel the police look for the other plates more than the actual 户 plates. But this is just me trying to justify to myself that i will pay 20,000 a plate that in another province I would pay hardly nothing for.
I guess it's the way the cookie crumbles, now I am kind of thinking what bike I will get again. I mean, if I spend so much on a plate I might as well get a very good bike.
