Most of the information is fairly accurate based on our experiences, but we are amateurs, not lawyers and there wil always be different experiences. Also eaxh office applies the rules according to its own interpretation. Most people do not have to 'go here and there' for more documentation. However, some employers do not handle the formalities very well, or you might have some exceptional circumstances.

GUESTSNOP Hi

I would like to check the following senerio. I dont need a visa to go to China. I travel to shenzhen from hongkong and stay in shenzhen for 14 days and I went back to hong kong to clear custom that I am out of shenzhen and back to shenzhen agian within the same day. And I stayin shenzhen for another few days, will that consider ok or does it consider staying over than 14 days?

That is two entries into China. You will need a double entry visa. If you are eligible for the Shenzhen economic zone visa on arrival, I assume you would have to apply again for the second entry - but I have no idea if there is any restriction on an immediate re-entry though I have never heard of one.

For flexibility and certainty I would get a dual entry visa in advance.

GUEST61180 I am a us citizen interested in going to China and trying to make a living there as I will be staying with someone in Shenzhen.As this will be my first time visiting the country, how could I, who will not be there as a teacher, prolong my stay in china? can I get a work permit doing common labor? how can I extend my stay in shenzhen or even become a citizen.Can I get a 1 month visitation visa in the us and renew it in Shenzhen? if you know anything please help,thank you.

Guestrob: as you are resident in Thgailand you should be able to apply in Bkk. Make sure your employer prepares the paperwork for an application in Thailan, not the Filipines

GUEST61180: As you appear to have no grounds for obtaining anything other than a tourist visa, apply for the maximum duration visa with multiple entry. If they grant the maximum you will have abouut 9 months tho you will have to pop over to HK every 3 months, no problem from Shenzhen.

You will not be able to get a work permit unless you qualify as a 'foreign expert', for most of us that means being a teacher. To stay long periods you will need to keep reapplying from HK. There are a number of options like business visas, getting married, or becoming a student that you can look into later, but there is NO way you will get permanent residency.

Don't forget to register with the police when you arrive, giving your friend's address.

GUEST61180 APAULT this is the Guest formally known as 61180, I just want to say thanks a lot sir, I have been browsing through these forums and it seems that you are somewhat of a fountain of knowledge.I was just wondering how one would go about obtaining a maximum duration visa, do I have to have more of a reason than simply "visiting a friend", and when I go to hong kong how much guarantee is there that I will be given another 3 month pass? sorry to trouble you again but I am just a little confused as to how and what this Maximum Duration w/ multiple entry is/works.
