@Gavvie: the office is to the left of the museum, a big modern glass building. Foreigners go straight to the 3rd floor (thank God. The ground floor is pandemonium). I’m hoping to extend a working visa for two or three months. Anyone done this recently?
BTW: a friend with alot of visa experience reckons the main crackdown is on the business visa. She’s having alot of trouble, and is being asked to provide genuine proof of business activity. Apparently she’s never had to provide this in the past 7 years….
As always with Chinese visas, the main headache is the lack of clear, verifiable info…
