What is an F visa?

The F visa is for visiting, teaching, studying or doing business in China. An F visa enables you to work as a "consultant"
yet one step below a Z working visa which requires a lot of paperwork, health checks and relinquishment of your visa
status from a company.
However, if you intend to work full time for a company in China, your employer should help you get a working Z visa.

For this Visa, your passport must show a previous China Visa, either a current tourist or business visa. No medical exam
or vaccinations are needed for the Business visa.

of China, you can extend your visa every 6 month up to total 1 year without leaving. For example, you enter China
at 1st Jan. 2005, you can extend your visa every 6 month up to 1st Jan. 2006 without leaving China.
