Hi,

I want to apply for a F visa to attend a self-funded graduate training program in Beijing for a period of 2 months. I have already received a letter of invitation from the inviter company in Beijing, however, the China Visa Application Centre said it's not sufficient, and I would need to obtain a Visa Notification Form as well.

I was informed by the inviter company that the Visa Notification Form is only valid for 30 days per entry. Hence, if I'm staying for 2 months, I would need to apply for an exntension myself whilst in Beijing. Is this true? How can I obtain a visa notification form that's valid for 2 months?
