In the case of a lost or stolen passport
The loss must be immediately reported to the local Public Security Bureau. The original report must be presented to the Consulate-General when applying for a replacement travel document. The Consulate-General will issue the Certificate of Identity in lieu of passport for traveling back to Thailand. The report must also be presented to Chinese authorities when applying for a new visa to replace the visa in the missing passport. Failure to obtain a replacement visa can result in a fine by the Chinese authorities when leaving China.
