How Many Days Can a Beijing Entry Permit Be Valid?

[MacAlice]

For vehicles with non-Beijing license plates, the maximum validity period for a Beijing Entry Permit is 7 days. Specific application details: One day before expiration, on the expiration day, or one day after expiration, you can apply for a 5-day extension at the local traffic police detachment. After 12 days, if you still need the Beijing Entry Permit, you must go to a comprehensive checkpoint at the entrance of Beijing to reapply for a new 7-day permit. This process can be repeated. Additional information: Driving within the Fifth Ring Road without a Beijing Entry Permit will result in a fine and a 3-point deduction from the driver's license. If the vehicle with a Beijing Entry Permit commits non-on-site violations captured by surveillance cameras while driving in Beijing, these violations must be addressed before applying for a new permit. This includes violations of the tail number restriction policy, which can also be captured by surveillance cameras, with the same penalties applied to non-Beijing vehicles. If you are in the process of leaving the city, leniency is often granted, but if you stay, you will be penalized as if you had no permit.
