China - Extend my Tourist "L" Visa - while in China.?

Question

I have been given a Tourist L Visa but it says "days after entry 5"

I need to stay 4 more days to visit a sick friend who has just had major surgery.

It's too late to change the Visa in Vancouver as I travel in 2 days.

Can I extend this is China? I am going to Bejing and Anshan. Where do I go to get a Tourist Visa extension. Police station, Airport??

I know the games are coming but I will leave before they start.

Any help would be appreciated.

Amanda.

Answer 1

Forget all the misinformation. Until mid-September all bets are off. You will absolutely not be able to renew an L visa in China (or Hong Kong). Actually, many of the Chinese embassies/consulates offer a 1 day express service (if you pay a little extra) if you were to reapply.

Answer 2

to F.T. ward____ I cannot understand your answer. you stated that cannot be renew anymore in mainland or in h.k. how come you post again ther's a rush processing just for few hours....

Answer 3

Unfortunately, there is no good news for you.  As of July 01 the Chinese officials are not offering extensions on visas until further notice.

Answer 4

You can get a visa extension in Hong Kong. The beautiful thing about china is that no matter what the official policy is, all you need to do is bribe the right person or meet someone with connections. Ask your consulate/embassy if you need help.
