Hi, I came to China with my fiancee in February and we got married a few weeks ago.
My L-visa will be expiring soon. so my wife phoned the visa issuing office in her hometown, Pingnan(Guangxi), a small rural city rarely visited by foreigners.
The people at the office were very unhelpful and insisted that I cant get a 1 year visa from their office. I thought it wouldn't be a problem so I left everything to the last minute...now I have 4 days to leave China.
I am planning on going to Hong Kong to apply for a 1 year L-visa. Does anyone know if I will be able to obtain a 1 year single entry L-visa in Hong Kong or will it be multiple entry visa with 60/90 day durations of stay? Do I need to bring a letter of invitation or will my Chinese marriage book/certificate be enough?
Is there any way I can make the visa office in Pingnan county to give me a 1 year L-visa extension?
