I am in China on a single-entry student visa. I applied for a multiple entry, one-year student visa, but was instead given a single-entry visa that did not designate a time-frame for my stay. When I called the visa service I used (travisa), they said to talk to the immigration service in China to change the visa. When i went to the beijing office for this, they told me to go to jinan, where my university (shandong university) is located for a similar office. I would like to know if I can get more entries for my current visa, or if I will have to get a new visa.

Thanks!
Chris
