china visa valid expiration date for travel in china

Question

I have a China entry permit valid to June 10, 2015. I just booked travel in China between March 18 (arrive to China) to March 31 (return to the US). Does the Chinese custom require 3 month valid entry permit? If I show my travel invoice to the Chinese custom for a return date before the expiration, would I be allowed for entry? I will plan to get my US passport renewed after this trip and apply for a 10 year Chinese entry permit for future travel convenience. What is the regulatory total cost and turn around time from your services including US passport and Chinese entry permit?Thanks!Mark

Hello Mark! You are probably overthinking about the issue. Since your entry permit is valid to June 10, 2015, it can be used as long as you enter China before 23:59 of June 10, so take it easy. The cost for a ten-year China entry permit is 140 dollars and the whole process is normally done in four working days.
