Actually, it is not that obvious. There are places in Asia where you can enroll in a course but you don't actually need to take the classes.
It is highly unlikely that I would take part of any classes, so I will probably focus on other types of visas for now, in particular F visa and maybe extensions of L visas but if I hear anything to the contrary with regard to X visa I will research again.
Hi @Liumingke1234,
What is the price for a student visa? I guess I would have to pay some enrollment fee as well? Would I also actually have to take classes?
I think maybe I can do a business visa. I will try to find out what the best option is. I want to stay here.
Hi Michael,
Insightful post.
My primary goal at the moment is just to be able to stay here longer. I have some basic funds coming in at the moment so I am not panicking about making money. I just want to stay.
I like cycling and swimming, I don't drink or smoke and I just go cycling and swimming every day. Apart from that I am interested in computer science and creativity.
So you're saying a college diploma is a requirement for business visa? Is that a fact? Because I don't have a college diploma so I can perhaps rule out business visa if that's the case.
Or is there an agency to go to that can just take care of everything?
Normally I would do the paperwork myself but this is my first time in the region although I have lived in Asia for 5 years already.
Not sure what the path is. I will probably try to follow a path which allows me to stay longer in this region.
I enjoy the cooler weather here compared to South East Asia and the cycling and swimming has also been rather good so far. The GFW has not been quite as bad as I was concerned it might be either.
So extending the tourist visa... Is that something I could do indefinitely? Crossing over to South East Asia, picking up a tourist visa, then coming back here and extend it?
Or will they limit the number of tourist visas issued?
What factors do they take into consideration at the entry/exit office when they decide if they will extend for 2 weeks or 3 months?
And do they have one of these offices in every town even a small town like this?
There is an exit crossing to Vietnam in this small town by the way.
Also, is there really no way to get an F or X visa or whatever they are called here?
And furthermore, do you think I should stay here in this small town and try to do research on the Internet or head over to a big town like Guangzhou or Shenzhen as soon as possible and try to find agencies or companies that can help me face to face?
Upgrading a visa from tourist visa to business visa
Hello,
Today I am in Dong Xing. I want to visit Kunming. But first:
I have a tourist visa (L) double entry now. I want a business visa (F). I guess I need an invitation letter in order to change visa type from tourist to business. (The passport is Swedish by the way),
Where can I get an invitation letter?
Should I go to Guangzhou, Shenzhen or Hong Kong and talk to some agency?
Or should I try to approach some company?
What is best practice here?
Constructive advice appreciated.
