A short Tianhe stay and a longer Panyu residence can involve different offices. Keep the full address and district ready.
Before you go
A visit versus a longer stay
Guangzhou services can be handled at city, district, or subdistrict level. Residence permits, school admissions, healthcare, and social insurance have separate eligibility requirements.
Finding the right service
- Identify the address's district rather than using a station name.
- Select Guangzhou and the district on Guangdong Government Services and search the exact task.
- Use Guangzhou Police guidance for residence-period and housing evidence.
- Confirm the office, appointment, and originals and retain the reference.
Practical local notes
Hong Kong school documents do not automatically meet local admissions requirements; check the district's current intake rules.
A residence permit does not automatically activate every service.
Moving and school enquiries
A move from Tianhe to Panyu may require updating address-linked accounts and records as well as accommodation paperwork. For schooling, check the new district's current intake, child status, and residence evidence. Do not commit to a long lease solely because a preferred school is nearby before confirming admission eligibility.
Use your address to select the district and the task to find the office.
