[quote=APAULT,384764]Sorry Amanda, but your post is not entirely accurate. The first tourist (L) visa one obtains outside China might be for less than 30 days and can be for up to 90 days for a single entry visa (actually I have met two people with 180 day single entry visas, but that seems outside the rules!).. The maximum depends on many things but especially your nationality and where you apply for it. A multiple entry visa normally has a maximum period of 60 days per visit, though it could be for a shorter stay on each visit, and may allow entry up to 1 year from the date of issue. You cannot simply convert from a tourist visa to an F or a Z, you must satisfy more stringent conditions. Agents often have ways and means when you are not strictly entitled to such visas, for a fee. The Z visa is not a residence permit, but on entry to China, you and your employer apply for your temporary residence permit (in reality another visa!) These matters are fully explained in the TCG visa section... www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa.htm [/quote]
