What is the rationale of putting a departure date when you actually live/work in Shanghai? In my case, I don't know the date yet I will leave the country? What's the recommendation then? Putting the expiration date of the working visa? Also, it will be interesting to know if the online registration could be as valid as the physical one (police station) for administrative procedures such as visa renewal?
