Forums > Living in Kunming > F Visa Extension

Hi does anyone have any recent information regrading F Visa Extension in Kunming? I can be issued with a 30 day F visa in London, but I need to stay for awhile longer. I've extended L visas at the PSB with no trouble, but now a company really wants me to arrive in China with an F visa and I can't find out much information relating to F visas in this part of China!
Thanks

I'm self-employed in the UK so if I do find any paid work maybe it's OK to invoice Chinese companies and get paid to my English account?

I saw a T-shirt for sale in Thailand, which clearly should have said 'I love rapping' but only had one 'p'...

Hi thanks, I'm currently in China on a L visa and I can travel to neighbouring countries to get the F visa but I don't want to risk travelling to a random city and encounter problems!

My experience of phoning embassies/ immigration hasn't been positive in the past... so I'm just looking for a recommendation- or a company I can pay to obtain for me in China. I found a visa company in Beijing but their fee was 4700RMB and I'd have to stay there for a week. Many other companies have suspend the F service, especially for visits longer than 30 days.

I will ask the company I'm going to work with to phone a Kunming PSB and try to get the invitation letter stamped, then I'll choose a destination (probably the cheapest to travel to from China).

Any other advice welcome...

By the way I would like a Z visa ideally but this has proved impossible in Kunming as I don't have a degree. I want to find work making videos for charities and businesses and teach some film making and photography skills

I'm going to be living in Kunming soon and I need a 6 month double or multi-entry business F visa. I've spent time researching the visa online but I'm still uncertain whether I need an 'official invitation letter' or an 'informal invitation letter' and exactly what details the company I'll be working with needs to include in the letter.

Has anybody obtained an F Visa recently, if so how? Did you go to HK or Bangkok, or did you pay a visa company to supply it? Any advice is really appreciated...
