Is is easy to renovate Chinese visa in HK?

Hi, I would like to know how easy it is to renovate my Chinese visa in HK. I currently have a 6 month business visa but I would like to stay in China for 1 full year. As I understood, my options are:
- either making a new 6 months business visa
- or applying for a tourist visa (maximum 3 months valid?) twice

According to your experiences, is this practicable and which is the most convenient option? Secondly, I read that many hotels/hostels provide the visa service. Is this reliable, have you ever tried it?

Thanks!

it is a better option that you renew your business visa in HK.

Thank you for your reply. Do you think it is ok to rely on the hotel/hostel service? They claim they can arrange the visa in 1-2 working days only.

I don't think so but if u need an agent to help u out,I do know a contact which can apply for visa for foreigners.

If u need,I can give u the contact though

Some hotels will do the visa paperwork for you - for a fee - but it's so easy to do yourself.  Just go to the office on Fleming Rd - not around the corner on Harbour, fill out the forms and wait.

Hi,

You have few method to stay in China.
1. Flight to HK and apply for the 6 months visa but it depending on the that time policy. It might giving 1 month or 6 months with 30 or 60 days duration every entered china.
2. Look for your local PSB agent to get 3 months maximum on your cases.
3. Flight to HK get a short F visa and back to mainland look for agent to help you get the 6 months F visa.

I hope this will help. Thank you.
