[quote=BARONTWANGLE,275056]My understanding and experience is somewhat different to the above entry. Unless you or your son are also planning to work in China, then you can just come on a tourist L visa. As standard, this usually has a maximum of 90 days for tourism purposes, but if you can show that you are staying with family (as you are) then it is possible to get a much longer one (probably to the same duration as your husbands visa). This would be much easier to get than a Z visa. Being based in Guangzhou, it is only 1.40hr on the train to Hong Kong, where it is very easy to get a new L visa issued on the same day. As long as you apply before noon, you can collect it after 6pm. My advice is to use CTS agency who have a branch situated at Hung Hom station (the one you would arrive into from GZ). They are cheaper than if you go to the official China visa office, and you won't have the hassle of waiting in line either. So even if you only get a 90 day L visa, it is very easy to get the train to HK for the day every 3 months and get a new visa. It's not the cheapest way, but something to consider if your options start becoming reduced.[/quote]
