FAQs
* I enter China with a tourist (L) visa and now I want to stay longer in China, what can I co?
L visa can be extended once or twice with one month each. L visa can also be converted to a 3/6 month Business (F) visa. After that, you can extend for another 3 month. The extension times are no limit, but the maximum stay inside of China without leaving is 1 year.

*. I have a double/multi-entry Visa, but have 30 days limit for each stay. How can I remove it?
The limit CAN NOT be simply removed in China since December 2004. If you want to stay longer than 30 days, we can help you apply for a new F visa, and your current visa will be revoked at the same time. Be discreet when you apply for double/ multiple entry visas outside China.

What is the maximum duration of an F Business visa extension?
The maximum duration for foreigners continuously in China without leaving is one year. When you hold an F visa and stay inside of China, you can extend your visa every six months for up to one year without leaving. For example, if you enter China on January 1, 2006, you can extend your visa every six months up to January 1, 2007 without leaving China. The one year limit is calculated from your LAST date of entry into China.

I have a Double/Multiple Entry F visa, but have a 30 day limit for each stay. How can I remove this restriction?
Double and Multiple Entry F visas issued by overseas Chinese consulates or the Hong Kong visa office usually have a limit of 30 days on the duration of each stay in China. The limit CAN NOT be removed in China as of December 2004. If you want to stay longer than 30 days, you have to apply for a new F visa, and your current visa will be revoked at the same time. We can get you a 6 month Multiple Entry visa without restrictions in China to resolve this problem.

Which country's passports can we process?

We can process USA, Canada, UK, EU countries, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and some South American Countries. All other nationalities will have restrictions that needs a personal interview by the visa officer. Therefore we will not be able to process by proxy.

If my visa has expired, what will happen?
If your visa has expired for less than 10 days, you are required to go to the immigration office and file a record. You will receive a warning for violation. For foreigners whose visa has expired more than 10 days, it will result in a 500RMB fine per day except the first 10 days, and the maximum amount is 5000RMB.
