L visa extension expiring: what to do after the 2 months' automatic extension?
Nihau,
I have an EU passport and my tourist visa was originally for 53 days. I requested a first extension and got 30 days.
Thereafter the 2 months' automatic extension started and is expiring now.
With all countries still having closed their borders to foreigners, I want to stay in China.
Before Covid-19 it was possible to get an extension to an L visa for a duration that did not exceed the original duration of the visa i.e. 53 days. If I already got 30 days' extension, does that leave 23 days more I can apply for?
1. Will I get another extension?
2. If yes, for how many days' extension should I apply?
3. If I don't get an extension on my L visa, can I change to another type of visa to stay legally?
4. Which other type(s) of visa is (are) possible and what are the requirements to get that it (them)?
5. If I don't get another type of visa and I overstay on my L visa, what is the punishment (during Covid-19 it is reportedly mitagated)? Whichever is the punishment, do they put a stamp in my passport that I overstayed?
6. Is there anything else I should know in order to stay?
Thank you for your elaborate answers,
stay healthy!
John
