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.business forum,trade forum,business opportunity,Business China,Business India,Brazil business2[0F;~8h6u8A(T;i;T
