| GUEST19675 | Hi all, Cheers for all the posts so far, they have been insightful ! I too am a victim of the F visa betrayal !! My issue being, is that they have introduced the new M visa, to replace the F. But no one seems to have any idea about it, or even been issued a M visa yet? Jumping onto the tourist visa every month will be extortionate to the wallet. The company i am discussing projects with (business technicalities) are also clueless in the bid of the business visa. I can go to HK in 3 weeks, with documents to apply for the M Visa, but will i get one? does it even exist? Will they think i am some sort of multi-gazzillionaire leeching money out of them and reject me entry? -- and then trying to hop onto the tourist visa once im rejected the M Visa, will certainly arouse suspicion that i am indeed leeching all the dumplings out of the city! i understand chinas fight against people working illegally, but the more they try the more i feel people are simply breaking the rules... while people like my self have to put up with the stress and headache of it all ! |

| GUEST28121 | So does this mean the the "Family L visiting Visa is over and gone? And now this Q1 visa is only for family that wishes to visit their foreign son or daughter who works in China with a Z visa? Also meaning that I couldn't use a Q1 visa to visit my wife or child in China. What about the wife sponsoring us to stay with her and giving us 3 month resident permits up to someday 1 years resident permits? Are those gone too? |

| There are lots of rumors floating about because China's new Exit-Entry Administration Law went into effect July 1 and the State Council regulations implementing that law sill go into effect on Sept. 1. Skip the rumor and go straight to the source: Exit-Entry Administration Law: http://lawandborder.com/ State Council Regulations: http://lawandborder.com/ Q&A on the law and regulations: http://lawandborder.com/ |

| GUEST28121 | The rumors will continue, because most of the questions we need answered only say this phrase: "The statute and State Council regulations are silent on this."  |

| GUEST25178 | My 90 day L visa was about to expire so I applied for an 90day extention at the PSB, they can only give me 30 days but will do this 3 times for me as each extention expires. Cost 168y each time. You now need 7 days for the visa extention to be proceesed and not 5 as before. I believe if your original visa was 30 then 30 is the max they will give you etc etc etc. No figerprints, no criminal record needed.. any questions happily answered.. |

| GUEST63154 | I used to have a 30 day F visa for business. Extended it in May this year for an other 3 month and I was told that time that a second extention is no problem. Now they send me home because after the law changed, they will not give any second extension, even if you have an older visa. I only asked for 30 day extentions. And by the way there is no "why" any more, only "yes" or "no" and you have to leave the office. So I will sit in an airplane in one week back to Germany. |

| @ GUEST63154: Where did you try to do extension, in local PSB, or new visa run in Hong Kong? |

| GUEST04220 | Even the spouse visa is still floating, before we can get one year visa multiple entry without any doubt. just a simple question which one i prefer, single, double, multiple or no entry visa. But now it seems i need to undergo the so called medical examination just to acquire that 1 year visa brrrrrrr. other country provides 5 years family visa for reunification but in china it seems it will bring an expensive reunion with my family and spend a lot of cash for every extension, and not only that every extension i need to take my photo again and again with no ending payment...... so disturbing What is the essence of family if it is like this  |
