Working on an L-Visa in China

Working on an L-Visa in China

HUTAMMY Points: Join Date: Apr 28, 2010 Status: offline	Hello friends, I currently have an L Tourist Visa, which requires me to leave every 90 days. I was wondering if there was any way for me to NOT have to leave as I currently am working. I know that this situation is technically illegal, which makes matters tricky and risky. I had spoken with the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco when I was home a few months ago, and they had told me that I could obtain some sort of verification letter from the police or maybe the PSB that proves I am not doing any sort of suspicious activity but am just working? They told me that if I go through customs to go back home, then I can just show them this letter and go through just fine. I'm not sure if this is a way "around the system" but have any of you heard of people doing that before? Any advice you can give me, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

And no one care what kind of visa do you hold. If you have any query or need any help on China visa, please contact me by sending email to hotmail.com\|maggielee66
