Hi there, I have a question. A friend of mine is going to do her placement in Beijing. Her company could not arrange her a visa notification form, and therefore she cannot get an business visa. The duration of her placement is 180 days. She is now forced to get a 90 day tourist visa. I have heared many stories that the visa extension after two times is a real pain!

Is it possible to convert her tourist visa to an business visa when she is already in Beijing and her visa is almost overdue ? I do want her to get into a lot of trouble, so what is the easiest and cheapest way for het to stay 180 days in Beijing.

With regards,

Kahan
