| GUESTJENNI | I have China working visa (Z) valid until April 2013. My previous employer applied it for me last April 2012, however i resigned from my work last July 2012, and now Im back in the Philippines. I am planning to visit Shanghai on November 14 until 28. Can i proceed with my China tour using my working visa? Or do i need to apply for tourist visa? Please advice. |

| GUEST72111 | Your Z visa was only valid for 30 days. It would then have been exchanged for work and residence permits. These are only valid for the original job contract. I think you will find they will now be cancelled. "Resigning" from a job (breaking a contract?) can also lead to future problems. |

 | In theory, the temporary residency permit (in effect a visa) should have been cancelled by the last employer but in my experience it rarely is. You can probably enter China on it, but there is a small risk of a problem. Personally I would take the risk, BUT if you are rejected, you waste a return air fare. |

| If you are in mailand with a L visa,and you have a company can prefer documents for you,you can conversion L to Z visa without leaving mailand of China. |

| SARAHXIN.... I assume you mean an agent. Yes I have seen some advertise this but I doubt an ordinary company can arrange for a Z visa EVEN though I was with a friend who read a Chinese document in the Guangzhou PSB Exit and Entry office saying that Z visas could be obtained there! |

| GUESTKIM | I am a British citizen currently in Suzhou along with my 2 children on Tourist Visa's. I tried to enrol onto a language course but was told I need my children's birth certificate's notarised by the Chinese embassy in England. I have sent them to England and my brother will be getting them notarised for me, however, our duration of stay expires on 11th March and I will not receive the documents back by the 10th March - the deadline given to me by the University. I was told that if I get an extension I won't be able to change our Visa's over as they can only change what we were issued in our home country. I am not in a position to fly back to the UK and then re-apply to come again. Does anyone know of an alternative solution? Thank you. |

| GUEST00754 | Kim, It's easy to extend your L at local Entry and Exit Management Bureau. You should extend it seven working days in advance. I don't know if you have done this successfully. |
