Hi u'all,

Is there a way or services that can get you a Chinese resident permit even if you're not working for a Chinese company/school or a multinational? I'm an importer and wholesaler. My company and I are interested in purchasing goods from Yiwu. I can easily get a multiple entry F Visa but if I were to stay in China for more than 3 months, the constant trips to HK will undoubtedly become annoying after a while. I had a resident permit in the past (2010) but it's now expire and I'm currently not in China but should be coming back later this year or early next year. I'm looking for a way/service that can help me obtain a resident visa and what would be the estimated fee.

Regards
