Q: Visa Extension - How long does it take?

Hi Friends,

 

I extended my visa last Thursday at the Entry and Exit office in Shanghai. My application was to extend 3 months (F Visa).

How long does this take aprox?

My last legal day in China is on May the 1st, next Tuesday and I would like to travel over this weekend. However without visa and passport it might be difficult.

 

Thanks!

I have no idea if it is the same in Shanghai, but in my city, it takes 5 working days for the paperwork turned in to you pick up passport with the extension. They make it clear that you should apply no less than 5 days prior to expiration date.

Now, here they also tell you when to return to their office to pick up your passport, and give you a paper or receipt to claim it with. Did they tell you that ?

They asked me if I want it sent to my home or pick up. I chose to let them send it.

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
