Q: When I have to apply for a visa extension?
My L visa will be expired on the 21.03.2012.
When I have to go to the police to apply for the extension?
12 years 8 weeks ago in Visa & Legalities - China
The minimum processing time will be 5 working days, and be aware that the PSB (not the Police Station) is the one granting it. And also that they are closed to the public in general on Friday afternoons and week ends for your purpose
I will also say that either not over 7 days prior to expiration. But make sure you do have all the requirements, like your Registration of Temporary Residence Form granted by the local Police Station, plus sufficient funds to survive for an extra 30 days at their rate, not at yours. In Guangxi Province, that is at least 20,000 Rmb.
If you convince them, they will grant you 30 extra days, and after that the possibility of another 30 days, then you must leave.
Yes, you can get an extension from the local PSB, but you will likley only be able to get a 30 extension.
I would suggest doing this 2 weeks before it expires as it takes a few days.
If you are close to Hong Kong it may be easier just to get a new one.
