A: Yes. As we know, when you hold an F visa and stay inside of Shanghai, you can extend your visa every 6 month upto total 1 year without leaving. that's mean, for example, your enter China at 1st Jan. 2004, so that you can extend your visa every 6 month up to 1st Jan. 2005 without leaving. that's we called 1 year limit. but the 1 year limit is caculate from the lastest enter date. so during this 1 year, you can apply 1 extra entry and leave the country and come back with this entry. then you enter date will be refreshed. for example, you leave China with 1 extra entry and come back in 1st Sept. 2004( maybe your vacation). then thats mean you can extend your visa again every 6 month upto 1st Sept. 2005. because your lastest enter date is updated. Anyway, we just pass this information to you because it might be helpful to you.[A Professional Business Forum]+x;O%p1c8X(b5^
