For just $140, the Chinese visa gives you multiple entries over 10 years, with 90-day stays each time. I know expats who make short trips to Thailand or Cambodia just to reset their 90-day clock in China — this visa makes that possible. It’s an incredibly valuable tool, worth every penny, even if you don’t plan to live in China full-time. Having this option gives you freedom and flexibility in Asia, that’s hard to overstate. Start here at the official site, you will need to visit the consulate in your region in-person. The closest one to me at the time was in Chicago so I had to take a short flight. https://cova.mfa.gov.cn/qzCoCommonController.do?show&pageId=index&locale=en_US
