Traveling when visa expires
My 30 day visa extension L tourist expires on January 27.
I am booked to depart China on Feb 5.
I am reluctant to apply for my second extension on January 19 because I would have to leave my passport in the Beijing office for the Spring holiday.I need it for 3 flights and to register in 2 hotels.
Last time my passport was released only after 8 days.When should I apply for the extension?
