-------Inquiry from Trice---------
Hi,

I hold a z visa that will expire on 1 June.
I will go back to Italy at the end of March and will be back at the END of June, so my z visa will be expired. If i get a short term (one-month) visa in Italy is it then possible to extent this to a six-month multiple entry visa here in beijing? How much is it?
Or maybe better get an invitation letter from you?

Please let me know the options.

thank you very much

Hi, Trice ,

Yeah, it's OK if you get a short term (one-month) visa in Italy and then extent this to a six-month multiple entry visa here in beijing by our help.

And also, there's another way for your visa solution, you could extend your Employment Liscense and Resident Permit in Beijing, before you back to Italy at the end of March.

You should pay only ￥1200 (including the goverment fee).

￥1200，depands on whether or not you could submit completed materials from your company, including your company's business license copy, a letter of recommendation，etc.

Generally speaking you can only get it renewed one month in advance, if two months, your company should give you a application form, and also you should attach your e-ticket of your scheduled flight.

If you have no company materials, it'll be more complex. And the service fee will be ￥1200+￥8300 (including the goverment fee). Furthermore, if you have no original Diploma, should plus ￥2300; if no 2-year work experiences, plus ￥2300.

And, I could give you another choice for this.

1) We could give you a invitation letter (￥600), and you should enter into China within 3 months;

2) After enter, you could stay in China for one month, and we will help you to get a F-visa-12-month, it will cost you ￥1600; F-visa-6-months, ￥900;

3) Besides, you should pay the goverment fee for ￥425；

After all, the total fee is: ￥600+￥1600+￥425=￥2625

How about this way? Why not visit our office for detailed communications? Our office is located at Dongzhimen, you could take Subway Line 2.

Hope to see you and help you.

PS: the fee is changed in May of 2009. not "￥1200+￥8300", but "￥1200+￥6500". (UP-dated by Grace jin, 15:59, May 25,2009)

-------Inquiry from a Moldova friend---------
How much for F to F extension, six month multiple?
I am from Moldova. In Shenzhen.
-------Reply to this Moldova friend---------
The rates will vary from nation to nation. For Moldova citizens in China, F-F-6-multiple: 2300(Service fee)+869(Government)=3169; F-F-6-2-time entry: 2300+662=2962.

And, For woman under 28 years old, should add 1000RMB for your extension. But if she is married, no need for it.

After all, because you are not in Beijing， so you have to pay additional 300RMB for the "Temporary Residence Registration临时住宿证明" in Beijing.

Thank you so much for your inquiry. Good Luck!

PS: the fee is changed in May of 2009. not "2300(Service fee)", but "￥1600". (UP-dated by Grace jin, 16:03, May 25,2009)

-------Inquiry from Christie---------
Hi Grace,

I am currently on a L visa and have all the documents together from my company to convert it to a Z visa with my company. I read here that i have to leave PRC to do this and so plan on going to HK. Can you confirm that HK will process my visa even though i am not an HK resident (UK passport holder)?
Thanks,
Christie

Thank you so much for your trust.

-------Inquiry from an American Friend---------
Hello,
I am an American Citizen living and working in Beijing, I currently hold an F-Visa, valid until the 15th of May 2009, I am looking to extend it for one year, or, if not possible convert it to a Z Visa for a period of no less than one year, most important to me though is knowing the cost of each service.
1) How much does it cost to extend the F Visa for as long as possible, with as many entries as possible?
2) how much would it cost to convert it to a Z Visa, i am in perfect health and and am 25 years old?

Thank you

Hello,

1. F-F extension, become more restrict from April 15th,2009. Only can extend to 6-month with 2 times entries, and can only extend to Sep 15th, maybe this restrict is because of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the PRC, which is schedule on Oct. 1st (then will be a great ceremony activity in Beijing).
After all, be it F-F-extension, for your UK case: 6-month(up to Sep 15th as I said), ￥800(Service fee)+￥940(Government charge)=1740RMB.

2. F-Z need more materials, so if you company can provide the required materials for you? If yes, you should pay:
1)Apply for "work permit = 外国人就业许可证”：￥400；
2)L-Z：￥4400；
3)“working license = 外国人就业证”：￥400；
4)“居留许可（Residence Permit）”：￥800

So, totally, you should pay ￥6000, which will assure you to stay and work in China for 12-month. But, if NO (required materials), the fee will be higher a lot.

For any questions, you can contact me by the following ways.
