*As Chinese laws, if you hold an F visa, you are not allow to
get incoming payment here. that means, if you have sign the
contract with the company and will start your full-time job
here in Shanghai, it's better for you to ask for the working(Z)

Q8. I have an one(or half) year Multi-entry
Visa, but have 30 days limit for each stay. Can I remove it?
After the limit removed, which kind of visa can I get?
A: No, Form 22nd of December, 2004. The new policy refused to
remove those 30 days limit. But the other 6 month 0/1/2/M entry
or 1 year no stay limit visa is now available.
Q9. Is there any useful tips for visa extension?
A: Yes. As we know, when you hold an F visa and stay inside
of Shanghai, you can extend your visa every 6 month upto total
1 year without leaving. that's mean, for example, your enter
China at 1st Jan. 2004, so that you can extend your visa every
6 month up to 1st Jan. 2005 without leaving. that's we called
1 year limit. but the 1 year limit is caculate from the lastest
enter date. so during this 1 year, you can apply 1 extra entry
and leave the country and come back with this entry. then you
enter date will be refreshed. for example, you leave China with
1 extra entry and come back in 1st Sept. 2004( maybe your vacation).
then thats mean you can extend your visa again every 6 month
upto 1st Sept. 2005. because your lastest enter date is updated.
Anyway, we just pass this information to you because it might
be helpful to you.
Q10. If my visa expired and overstay in
Shanghai, what can I do and how much fine should I pay?
A: As the Chinese immigration law, if your visa expired less
than 10 days, it's not necessary to pay any fine, you have to
go to the immigration office, the officer will ask some questiones
and put down your words in writing and make a record. They will
also notice you don't break that again. If your visa expired
more than 10 days, they will charge you fine, the fine is 500RMB
per day except the first 10 days, and the maxmium is 5000RMB.
for example, if you overstay 12 days, they will charge (12-10)*500=1000RMB.
Following are the contact information of immigration office,
you can go to there when your visa expired:
Address: No.1500 Min Shen Rd. , PuDong, Shanghai, China.

A:
First, you should know all those visa restrictions are for the Olympic, After the Olympic. the rules will become normal. So now the question is how to get a visa till Olympic finished( till Oct.). F visa is not a good choise because the government has already make it very difficult. L visa and Z visa will be the only option, Here is the plan we suggest:
For the people who are not working here in Shanghai:
Goto HK get 1 month L visa, and come back to shanghai, we can extend those L visa twice and each time 1 month( our E1 service), so total 3 month, then goto HK again, repeat this procedure untill the Olympic finish. Just notice you have to register yourself in 24hrs everytime after you come back from HK.
