Q: Anyone have that 10 year visa for China?
I've heard a lot about the reciprocal 10 year visa between China and the US. I know some Chinese who have got it for the US. But I have never met or heard of any American getting the ten year visa for China. You would think that it would be a popular choice for people working under the table here. Can anyone shed light on this?

I knew a guy who had one and he had to do visa runs every month. Hardly seems worth the trouble. And the border crossings in the pearl river delta are starting to pull visa runners in for questioning recently, they say.
I wonder if the semi-fictional trade war will put an end to them.

I was looking into to it before since I come and go from china quite a bit. Its only good if you stay around 2 or 3 months per stay and dont come that often. Its good for if you come to china say for chinese new year every year or something like that. For the 10 year L visa you can get 30 or 60 or 90 day per stay depending on what you apply for. You can get a q2 visa with this but only for 120 days per stay. So its not really worth it if you were to use it for work. I just recently switched my z visa for a q visa and I apply for 2 years. With that I can stay as long as I want and come and go as much as I want without having to worry about the entry exit thing. And a resident permit is better than living in china on just an L visa.
I got one on 2014, in Washington, DC. I applied o 90 days, M entries, but at that Embassy was told maximum was 60 days. Actually, they madea mistake, and wrote own visa expires on 2025 instead of 2024. I agree doing the border run eery 60 days can become a pain pretty quick, but I do alternate HKG wh other countries nearby and that makes it more palatable.
I have never had any problems with the "OUT" and "IN" phases, no one have ever said a thing to me. And I have been "OUT" from 5 minutes to one month, depending where I went. It may not be the best visa, but saved me 4 trips back to USA to renew it.

Someone who visited me last summer got the 10 year visa. I wrote him an invitation letter. Maybe that helped. But he must leave China every 2 months to renew the visa. 60 days visa is better if you want to stay for 30 days in a role.
