Q: Anyone apply for L visa to China lately and got short changed?

I just applied for another 1 year , 90 day L visa. The Embassy had my passport for 2 weeks, usually 3 days. I got an S2 for family members 35 day stay. I don't have family in China. Are they getting stingy with staying?

Maybe they suspect that people that continuously renew one year multi entry tourist visas when they don't even have family members here are up to things that may not be in accordance with the conditions of the visa. Just a suggestion like! angel

Kaiwen:

That might be so but, given the much publicized visa crackdown this year, do you not think that China Immigration and the consulates will start to get suspicious of any foreigner living long term in China on a "L" visa? They will no doubt start to question how you support yourself and, if you have no employment, whether the money that you do support yourself with is legitimate. In actual fact, I am sure the same would happen in any other sovereign nation.

I have more than enough money to support myself, and it goes farther in China.

they might review the old visas and records, consider the current application and issue the visa.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
