I want to study in Guangzhou at Zhongshan university for 6 months. I am told the deadline to apply for the course has passed and the university cannot prepare the JW202 form even though there is almost 2 months for the course to start..I also do business in China, and the purpose of my visit is to do work, and take the course as well. I have visited China on a F - Visa before for work.My question is can I go to China on a F-visa since I have work, and take the 6 month course there as well? The visa I received last time stated I was allowed only 30 days stay on one trip even though the visa was valid for 6 months. Can I get that duration extended to 6 months so I can complete my course as well?Yours sincerely,Manny

You can go to China on a F visa to work and take the 6 months course, however, it is hard to extend your F visa into 6 months stay duration. You can try to do it through the exit-entry administrative bureau of Guangzhou Public Security Bureau.
