IRISH PASSPORT HOLDER HERE IN BEIJING AND NEED TO GET MY {L} VISA RENEWED IN 12 DAYS
WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS HERE IN BEIJING
DO I NEED TO SHOW THIS BANK STATEMENT WITH THE 21,000RMB OR IS IT JUST THE FORM, TEMP RESIDENCE, PASSPORT AND FEE
DRAMA IS I HAVE NO WHERE NEAR 21,000 OR THE ABILITY TO GET IT,
IF I HAVE A VISA AGENT DO IT..........WILL I STILL NEED TO SUBMIT THE BANK STATEMENT
OR A TRIP TO TIANJIN OR SOMEWHERE WOULD THAT DO THE TRICK

You need to show the bank statement at the Psb.. You can obviously go to an agent.. or fly to Hong Kong to do it. In Hk it is cheaper then doing it with an agent here.
One of the requirements to extend your stay on an "L" visa is to show at PSB that you have enough money to live here for the extended period. The going rate is almost 800 yuan per day, so for a 12 days extension, you will need from 9,600 to 12,000 yuan, depending on the mood of the official in front of you. No funds, no extension, in Beijing or elsewhere. Sorry !

HappyExPat is right, if you don't have the money. then you'll have to sacrifice 4000 to 7000 to get a new L or M visa.. It's the name of the Visa Game. Or go home home..
me again, just to report, 21,000 is needed for 30 day stay, and furthermore, the bank statement needs to be on the day or at minimum the day before,
but i got it no worries with the bank statement and cost 190 rmb i think (not over 200 anyway)
no need agents.............do it yourself.its too easy
ironman510:
Does that mean you can renew it every month as long as you have 21k?
nope..........only one extension at a time............after 1st extension its adios amigo, and off to get another NEW visa OUTSIDE china

How did you get the 21k? You said you had no way of getting it.
my buddy came up trumps , stuck it in my bank then , got the bank slip, but it needs to be done as close to the applying day as possible, i did it 4 days before, and she was hesitant to do it, said next time it has to be on the day or at minimum day before
Sorry dyanisis this how China gets you out of the country, your visa is over then its time for you to go. Does this mean you are working in China illegally?
a friend of mine just extended his L visa for 30 days without anything from the bank, so it does not seem to be required every time.
But yes, only one 30 day extension in Beijing unfortunately possible :(
Does anyone know if it is possible to extend more often in other cities?
Hi, you can get another L visa for 30 days. If you have another friend apply visa with you, you two can get 30 days group visa, it could be obtained in one day and the cost is around 850rmb, very convenient
