Q: How can I extend my tourist visa in Hefei?

Hi,

I would like to extend my tourist visa. My boyfriend has a Z visa but as we are not in married, I don´t have the same possibility to stay here. Do you know if I can extend for more than 1 month?

If I extend for 1 month, after could I extend for three months? Or would I need to go out for doing it?

I hope you can help me,

Thanks in advance,

María

You'll need to go to the PSB, it's a case by case gig.. You'll need to show you have some money in a Chinese bank in your name.. It's hit or miss..

Back up plan: You must go to Hong Kong or Korea or use an illegal agent within China..

How long do you want to stay in Hefei? if you are planning to work there, what is the point f getting a one month visa extension? That is not very long. If you haven't started with an employer by now to obtain a Z visa, usually one month is not enough time anyways to process it. Best to go to HK and get a longer visa, like 6 months, depending on your country.

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
