Asked by Ms. Renata
I would like to know an information. My fiancee is going to work in China for 6 months and I would like to go with him for this time. He got an F. What type should I get? He is italian and I went to the consulate to get information, they told me to get a tourist L and then ask for a permit when I get there so I can stay more than 3 months. How do I do that? Can I work with the permit? Thank you.

Answered by Mr David
Yeah, you may just apply for a L tourist, and then apply for an extension of stay or temporary residence permit when you are in China. It’s illegal to work with the tourist L or temporary residence permit.

It usually takes five working days to process the application. You can call the China embassy in Suriname to consult that if there is an express service for that. TEL: 00597-454521

Apply visa china

Hello, having a Dutch passport being a citizen from Paramaribo, being 2 weeks in the Netherlands before travelling to China in september.Where can I best apply for it: in the Netherlands or in Surinam. Do you have to apply in person or somebody els can do this ? I will travel with my brother who lives in the Netherlands. Thank you. Regards wies h.

Answered by Seth from FINLAND | Aug. 17, 2017 20:55

Aloysia, you can make the application from both the Netherlands and Surinam. But chances are you cannot get a multiple-entry visa if you do that in Surinam. You can find someone else to do that on your behalf if you cannot go to the embassy or the consulate in person.

You mean the mainland China visa, right? If yes, you cannot update the visa there. You can only try to apply for a new from there.

Nikki, you have a chance to apply one there. However, I still think that you should apply one from Chinese consulate in your own country, to play it safe.
