Q: L visa extension without leaving mainland

Hi, 

 

I know this question has been asked before but the situation might have changed. 

 

I work in Shanghai on Z visa now and would like to travel in China for a couple of months after completing my contract. 

Any chance to get a 2 months L visa here without going to HK? 

 

My company will switch my Z visa to 1 month L visa at the end of the contract. Will I be able to extend it in any city in China later? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Never heard off! But, you could maybe get right info at PSB.

 

30-days L (or 30-days extension of RP---that's new!) is granted, so your new employer have sufficient time to apply for new FEC, or FT can 'prepare' for leaving China (traveling).

 

I read somewhere, PSB (or Embassy) ask for 'show of sufficient funds', before they grant L.

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
