[OKIE2 0]

my 6 month single entry visa expires september 26 and I will have to go to Hong Kong to get another one.

do you know if this same visa can be got in Hong Kong and where and for what price. this is the only visa

china has that you can stay longer than 30 day stay at one time.

You can get a visa for China at any of the China Travel Service (CTS) offices in Hong Kong and also from the Visa Office of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China. You can definitely get either a single or double entry Chinese visa in Hong Kong - but the rules for obtaining multiple entry visas in HK seem to be constantly changing, although at the moment CTS is claiming that it can issue multiple entry visas once again.

Incidentally - multiple entry visas can be obtained for stays longer than 30 days at a time - I have one which allows me to stay up to 90 days at a time.

THE VISA I HAD BEFORE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL LET YOU STAY 180 DAYS. IT WAS THE REASON I GOT THAT ONE

THANK YOU FOR THE INFO.

that was an 'L' visa?

since 2006 i have always used business class visas that were 1 or 2 year with 90 day stays multiple. many times in 2004-2006 i renewed 90 day business multiple visas in luoyang at the local police station, but that was with a business host. you should have your wife call and ask if you can extend locally, but that may have all changed in the rules revision predating the olympics fiasco.

CTS cracked down on issuing visas prior to the Plympics in 2008.

From what I've read on their website, they've 'slacked off' a bit -

so you should easily get another one.

I suggest you do ask for the 180 day duration, thuogh, you should easily get another one since you've had one prior.

Good Luck !

Hey Mike I had a friend in Oklahoma that told me immagration is easy all you got to do is know how to swim a while and the whole government is there to greet you with green card free wellfare and medical care.

So I took his advice and went for a swim. I was not in as good a shape as I thought I was I had to stop and rest for a couple of days in hawaii before I could go on. 3 months later I finnaly made it to china to my surprise there was no one there to greet me and after I am here for only 18 months they tell me I have to leave. china sure has a lot to learn before they can be like America. I think now my big mistake was I sould have went to Mexico much less swimming. But I heard you have to lay low there in Mexico too so you don't get kidinapped or shot in a drug war.

But now I have it all figured out I'm just going to marry my beautiful fiancee and stay in China the rest of my life see I'm getting smarter every day then there is no visas no Obama No taxes no $3800.00 fine for not buying health insurance.

then there is no visas no Obama No taxes no $3800.00 fine for not buying health insurance.

You forgot to say no BLACKS but since you would be an illegal alien what do you care?

Don't forget a billion people under the poverty level in China that would welcome you.

Have you not been to china there is blacks here and yes all the billion people under the poverty level have been very nice to me. But for sure they are not getting over run with wet backs yet I think the swim is a bit far for them.

And who's poverty level are you talking about USA or China's?

I got a 60-day L (tourist) visa from NY. After staying in China for 2 months, I went to the local Entry-Exit Bureau to get my visa extended (by applying for a new L visa) within China. You can ask a local visa company to do this for you as well. Usually costs 1000-2000 RMB, which is less expensive than having to/from Hong Kong.

EDIT: I should add that the new visa you get within China is 6-months. I ended up staying in China as a tourist for over a year via 2-month -EXTEND- 6-month -EXTEND- 6-month visas.

Yes I know you can do that I did the same with a original 6 month + 6 month + 6month but this is all you can get inside China the local office is only allowed to do this 2 times then you must leave China that is the reason for the trip to Hong Kong opposed to going back to America for a new one but HK would only give me a 30 day visa so now I will only be able to get 2 more 30 visas then another trip to HK or USA. I have been in china for 19 months now and will be here for 2 more months. This time I will try to get another 6 month visa from local office but not sure they will do that for me.
