The best way will be to get your wife to open the business and employ you (but you need a university degree!). It is almost impossible for foreigners to open their own Chinese businesses here. You need a minimum of $5 million investment! Another option to look into, is to start a Hong Kong overseas company, and register a Guangzhou office. Good luck - you'll need it.

SUSANOM Points: 2 Join Date: May 25, 2008 Status: Offline	Hi, I intend to backpack around China for a few weeks in July/August (yes I know this is prob the worst time to visit China!). To apply for the visa I need proof of accommodation for the entire time I'm there, what is the best way around this? I'm thinking of booking a few nights accomm in diff youth hostels and canceling them once I get the visa... is there a better way to get the visa?

It seemed a bit strange to me but a Chinese friend was helping a foreigner do this. If anyone wants more details, msg me and I will seek further info.

So you must get the Z visa converted into a Residence Permit by your employer (which they must do within 30 days of your entry into China) then you have multiple entry.

GUESTKEX	Hello, I'm a foreign student in China, my girlfriend wants to stay there with me for long time ( around 3 - 4 months ). Since she isn't going to study or work here, I think she is only eligible for visa L. L Visa is only for a month, even If I extend it in China, I don't think it can be extended for 3 months. Is there any way to make a long term visa for my girlfriend?

She cou also apply for a multiple entry visa - she would have to exit the mainland after the period allowed and then re-enter. Maybe the 1 month limit was imposed because of the Olympic restrictions, this is not a standard restiction (for most nationalities)

GUEST99183	Looks like will never end this visa problem, too much problem for business people. only bcs no have visa i loosed my business. Why they created this kind of rule? Atleast must see our record had living here longtime and doing business and we bring money here give job to their people. Many factory became rich bcs of us. If this condition continue i will move my business to other country.
