Visa expires 2 days before flight

Maybe someone can help. I am currently in Yantai, Shandong Province on a business visa (F), my visa expires on the 8th December and my flight leaves China on the 10th of December. They will not issue me with another visa, so will I be able to let the visa expire and leave on the 10th, or is there a process to this. At the Public Security Burea here, no one speaks English.

I have read online that you can stay 10 days without having to pay a fine, but need a letter from the Public Security Burea. And on another website, it says I will have a lot of trouble at the airport and will have to pay a fine. I am not sure.

Any advice?


Re: Visa expires 2 days before flight

No you cannot stay 10 days without paying a fine--you misunderstood what you read, or found some bad internet advice. The Chinese are within their rights to fine you up to RMB 500 per day (max of RMB 5000 which = about 10 days). More than that is big trouble outside scope of this message. So, you might want to take the path of least resistance and figure the exit cost could be RMB 1000 (500 x 2 days of overstay), and have that with you in cash. If you're lucky they'll waive the fine. More likely, they'll extract the fine and give you a scolding. If unlucky, they'll take the fine, give you the scolding, and put a naughty stamp in your passport which could be a problem if you plan on ever getting another Chinese visa in that passport. But I think the naughty stamp unlikely with only a 2 day overstay.

Your alternative is to find a Chinese speaking friend to help you with the PSB, and try to get a 2-day extension, showing them your confirmed plane ticket out. If Yantai PSB won't help, try a different town--Qingdao might be more cooperative. This may end up being cheaper than the fine.

A Chinese visa agent is another alternative to get an extension, but this is likely to end up more expensive than the fine.

Or change your flight date to earlier if no change fee, or if change fee less than the likely fine.

Take your plane ticket to the PSB and get an extension.

Get that Ticket to PSB or you'll face problems,that should take care of it.
