guys you simply cannot WORK and STAY in China on a multiple F visa - for this you need a WORK VISA (Z). Is this so difficult ?
Because of this abusing the F visa, we now here in HK, who really need a multiple F visa (not for the purpose of living and illegally working in China), have to face this problem.
And because of the enormous "inflexibility" of the Central Government. Why the Central Government + the HK SAR Government cannot find a way to protect our interests and finally also the interests of thousands of suppliers on the mainland which are hurt by this very unreasonable measurements ?
Everybody knows that this visa policy is only 20% for the Olympics security.
Read below article and find out some ways how to avoid the PROBLEM (just marry a chinese ? This is not that easy for a foreigner - and is definitely not done in a few days !).
Later more entertainment will come up here as no real "china visa news" are in the pipeline.

In a word, yes. Many companies cannot get you a z visa themselves. Eg. City Weekend, important expat mag in Beijing will be losing a great proportion of its staff in the next month.
If you are working for yourself, for a smaller company, or even one that just happens not to have the right registration, you cannot get a z visa.
What is lacking is a convenient system for people to register their employment and tax status themselves.
Whats more, people 'abusing the F visa' bring needed skills to china and pump most of the money the earn directly back into the economy - in fact one can't easily or legally even change your earnings back in other currencies.
The 'enormous "inflexibility"' of the central govenrment is the primary reason for this crisis, and the reason people had to abuse the system in the first place.
Hi Karibdis,
can agree 99% with you - the "abusing" was meant cynical - surely China was sucking a lot on our expertise the last 10 / 20 years - but dont worry in most of the local companies (if super big, big or small) they are still very far away from anything similar to an international standard in terms of working procedures, organisation + proper administration.
I could write a book about this. Besides this the lack of "common sense" is still huge.
