Q: Getting a new F visa or extend my current visa?
Hi good people on this amazing website.
This is my first very own question asked to you guys:
I'm now in Guangzhou, my visa (F visa) will expire on 26/02. And I got approved to study in university here, the registration at the university office is between 25/02-01/03.
So I got 1 day before my visa expire? Is that enough? Or should I go to HK and get a new F visa (then it would be my first run to HK), or go to a PSB and extend my visa further 1 month?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Why don't you go and ask at University? They will handle your new Visa, and I am sure they know, if it is enough time on your present Visa to make an extension (new Visa) in China.
Forgive me but I thought F visa was for business not to study
maybe you should double check which one you need before going near PSB
good luck and please let us know what happens
best regards
Silverstein:
F visa is also granted if you are willing to study less than 6 months. But our buddy probably is asking about conversion his visa to X.
F-visa also applied for any period of study less than or equal to 180 days. I know this because before I earned my PhD back in the states, I sometimes did research and minor study in mainland China. Just go to the school and ask for an extension. You can go to the HK offices with an invitation letter for a new F or X visa and get it very easily if from a reputable university.
