About:China Tourist Visa
staying in china for 1 year
Hi, I currently hold a L type for china which is valid for a further 18 months but I wish to go live/visit china for a period of 1 year. I have no intentions of working and have sufficient funds to support myself for this period, do I need a different visa? what is the maximum period I can stay in china using an L type?
