Just to add to this, does anyone know if it's still possible to get a 36-month visa on a UK passport?
Their website doesn't say, and I've contacted them and got no response.
I know I can search, but this seems to be a change, so wanted to know if anyone had got one recently.
I've had a 12-month work visa for China before, in my old passport, and I'm a HK PR, if that makes a difference.
