Q: NEED TO EXTEND L VISA IN BEIJING

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?

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

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

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
