l visa extension expiring: what to do after the 2 months' automatic extension?

Question

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

John, you need to go to the local exit and entry administration to apply for another 30-day extension. It's not very likely to change your L visa to another type. If you overstay on your L visa, you will be required to pay a fine of CNY 500 per day and may get blacklisted. They may put a stamp if you overstay. Therefore, the best thing you can do is to get a visa extension as possible as you can.
