I have a 6 month multiple entry F visa issued in London. The longest duration of stay is 60 days. The wording on the visa is "Entry Before Date" and it is dated 9-Oct-2010.

I went with a work colleague to meet a visa agent at the visa office in Pudong, Shanghai but the agent said i do not need to apply for an extension as my last entry date was 14-Sep so i have 60 days from that date before i need a visa extension. I've been told visas issued in China have an Expiry Date rather then Enter Before date.

Is this information correct ? I dont want to overstay and would like to visit Beijing but am worried that i have nothing to prove i went to the visa office so if they treat the date as an expiry date, i could be overstaying by 60 days.

Thanks in advance.
