1. see the answer on the official website of the China embassy in Indonesia.http://id.china-embassy.org/eng/lsqw/visainfo/t315132.htm2. The embassy will possibly require the original ones.3.The regular processing time is 4 working days. Same day pickup requires express service and is charged for additional fee of RP 300,000. (applications presented before 11:30am may be picked up between 3:00pm-4:00pm on the same day, an air ticket for the same day or the next day is required). Next or Third day pickup will be charged for additional fee of RP 200,000.The visa fee is 300,000 RP and it is valid for 3 months.4. you can apply for the visa in Hk by the same procedure, but you may have to pay more.5. I'm afraid you should do the health exam in Indonesia, but you have to contact the China embassy in Indonesia to confirm this.

Thanks a lot Eaton.In this case, if im in rush and my documents seem not completely full for Z visa, I think i can apply for F visa correct?My question is: is stated 30days stay in China?Is it possible to get an F visa with 6 month validity but I dont need to go out of China every single 30days?I know there is a possibility for me to extend in China, but for how long and maximum how many times?

Mr.Michael · Answer

Do you have all requirements for F visa? You can write your demand on the visa application for 6 months validity and 6 months stay duration, but the final decision is up to the visa officers. I 'm afriad that it is hard to get such a visa. You can only extend it for one time in China.
