Q: L visa extension without leaving mainland

Hi, 

 

I know this question has been asked before but the situation might have changed. 

 

I work in Shanghai on Z visa now and would like to travel in China for a couple of months after completing my contract. 

Any chance to get a 2 months L visa here without going to HK? 

 

My company will switch my Z visa to 1 month L visa at the end of the contract. Will I be able to extend it in any city in China later? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Never heard off! But, you could maybe get right info at PSB.

 

30-days L (or 30-days extension of RP---that's new!) is granted, so your new employer have sufficient time to apply for new FEC, or FT can 'prepare' for leaving China (traveling).

 

I read somewhere, PSB (or Embassy) ask for 'show of sufficient funds', before they grant L.

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
