good evening!i am on an f visa in china, expiring beginning of february.

Question

Good evening!I am on an F Visa in China, expiring beginning of February. I could extend it once more with a single entry, but when this one expires then I think I need to get out of China to apply for a new F. That's why I am thinking to get a new Visa now in Thailand (I'll be there until 15 Feb), enter China and extend this new one then to stay for a longer period. In general, can there be a problem if I am just on F Visa for a long period, cause at the moment I can not get the Z because of < 2yrs work experience. I am employed in Germany, no contract or anything like this in China and just doing here some work in our China Branch. Regards and thanks for your help

Mr.GETIN2CHINA1 · Answer

you have two ways about your F visa, one is go out and apply for a new one, like you said . another is just go out to renew you entry stamp date, then you can go back and extend your F visa again ! in beijing is like this, but i do not know where are you living .

Thank you Mr. Getinchina. The thing is just, when I come back on the 15th Feb I want to stay as long as possible in China, June or July probably. That's why I mean if I do another extension now I probably need to get out in 90 days after 15th Feb and apply for a new one, cause I can not do the extension then. But if I get a new one now I could extend it then and maybe no need to get out before June... Am I right? Thanks for your help

Mr.GETIN2CHINA1 · Answer

if you get a new F visa, you can extend it without go out of China.

Mr.Patrick · Answer

Thank you, I think I will get a new one in Thailand. Will be the best option. Regards
