Chinese Visa: Number of Entries/Validity/Duration of Each Stay
1
Single, Double and Multiple entry visas
Please look at your current visa; find the Capital Letter on the top
China issues visas that allow one entry, double or multiple, the last two allowing you to exit from the Chinese mainland and re-enter on the same visa. You should remember that even a few hours in Hong Kong or Macau is an exit from mainland China in this context. To return you must either have another valid entry or obtain a new one. Also, remember that you cannot gain extra entries on a single or double entry one once it has been issued, you would have to apply for a new one.
The
application form lists the number of entries and total durations that
are available, though of course the embassy or consulate can decline to
issue a particular type, or indeed, any if they choose to. The maximum
stay on a single entry tourist visa is normally 3 months and each entry
on a dual or multiple entry one is 2 months. However, you might be
permitted less, or if you have relatives in PRC the regulations are
often more generous. It seems that the authorities are less willing to
issue multiple entries outside of your home nation.
The fee varies for the more entries and duration (except for US citizens where the fee is the same – so you might as well 'go for broke'!) For more information, please refer to the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC, USA). Simply apply for what you want and in the section where you list the places you will visit, indicate your intentions to go to Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam or wherever, so they see a need for the extra entries.
Tourist visa
applied for outside China, can be for a maximum of 12 months with
multiple entries with the final entry date stated on it. In fact, a
multiple entry one with a maximum stay of 2 months per visit allows you
as many entries as you like until the final entry date is reached, then
you are allowed 2 months as your final period. So in the above
situation you can get up to 14 months.
An often asked question is
how long you must be out of China – there is no minimum, you can just
go through the controls and turn round and come back in again.

Duration of Each Stay (after entering)
Duration
of stay refers to the maximum number of days the holder is permitted to
stay in the Mainland of PRC each time, which is counted from the next
day after entry. If extension of the duration of stay is needed,
applicants should apply for a new one at the exit & enter department
of local public security authorities before at least one week before it
expires. Overstaying
is against the Chinese laws and regulations, punishments such as fines
or even expulsion will be made, therefore, it is suggested to check visa
to avoid overstaying.
