Q: CAN I GET A VISA AGENT IN SHANGHAI WHO CAN HELP ME EXTEND MY L VISA FOR 30 DAYS
IS THERE ANY VISA AGENCY WHO CAN HELP ME EXTEND MY L VISA IN SHANGHAI?

You don't need an agent. Just go to the entry-exit bureau yourself.
You might need to show proof of funds or accommodation.
First time or second time? First time shouldn't be an issue.
When I tried this a few years ago, they wanted to see 20K in cash or a bank account.... I had to ask - TWENTY THOUSAND???? WTF do you think I'm going to spend that on??? Especially given that most people in this city live on 5000 or less per month! And very few foreigners get 20K/month in a job here...

Shining: you're supposed to be smart. It is their way of proving you will not need to work. America and European countries do this also.
Timtimtim:
Yes but not needing to work over a period of thirty days... 20k will last 6 months for some people. It's dumb and he is right to call it dumb.
Timtimtim:
Also if you want to say "this country does this or that" Compare the costs of living. I could live real nice in China on 5k for more than 30 days. Where as in my country I would need more than 20k rmb for one month.
Shining_brow:
Engles - I came in to the country on a 1-year multi-entry visa, and didn't need to show any funds! But I needed 20K for just 1 month... something is just... 'Chinese' about that!!
I read once
