Hotels normally handle registration, while homestays, studios and private homes need a different check. Jingdezhen immigration service stations in areas including Taoxichuan and Taoyuangu provide temporary-registration and policy support.
Identify the accommodation type first
A hotel normally completes the legally required registration. A friend's home, owned residence, non-hotel studio or other private address should not be assumed registered by a booking platform. Before paying, ask whether the host can register foreign guests, which documents are needed and who submits them when.
Carry the original passport and save the full Chinese address, host contact and check-in date. Recheck after moving; a record for the previous address does not cover the new stay.
Local help in Jingdezhen
A March 31, 2026 municipal account says immigration service stations in foreign-artist clusters including Taoxichuan and Taoyuangu provide document pre-acceptance, policy consultation, temporary accommodation registration and everyday support. They are a practical contact for studio residents, private-home stays and less conventional lodging.
Location, hours and required materials may change. Confirm through Jingdezhen public-security immigration services or the national 12367 hotline before visiting. A station can explain and process eligible matters, but cannot replace truthful information from the guest and host.
Do not misread another province's online pilot
The National Immigration Administration's March 20, 2026 online pilot initially named Hebei, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Hubei, Guangxi, Chongqing and Sichuan, with gradual expansion planned. Whether Jiangxi has since joined must be checked on the official platform or with 12367 on the filing day; a nationwide QR code alone is not proof that Jingdezhen is enabled.
If online processing is unavailable or verification fails, follow the local police authority's offline procedure. A private car or multilingual guide may help with transport and general interpretation, while legal responsibility, data accuracy and acceptance remain with the guest, host and authority.
