Mr.Arthur replied:

No, filipinos need to apply for a visa to China. What I heard is that China Embassy in Manila have stopped issuing tourist visa to filipinos.
Anyway, you can get exact information about the China visa from the the embassy directly.

Hello: I have purchased a round trip ticket to Hong kong. I know Philippines get 14 days in Hong Kong. Are there any requirements for the visa? Somebody told me I need a letter of invitation from the Philippines Consulate. Is this true?

Mrs.Goay(Malaysia) said:

Hi,
My daughter is returning to Malaysia on 22.11.09 & fly to China on 24.11.09 to teach English on a voluntary basis in one of the Chinese villages. This was arranged through her university as an internship programme & supported by an invitation letter from China .
My question:
1. What type of visa please?
2. Can this visa be applied & completed within 1 day?
Thank you

Nov. 12,2009 18:55
Mr.Helper replied:

How long will your daughter teach in China as an internship?
I know that China Embassy in Malaysia do provide same day visa application service, so your daughter can get the visa within one day.

Nov. 12,2009 21:48
Ms.Goay(Malaysia) replied:

Thanks Mr.Helper.
The duration is 6 weeks.
Is it an F visa?

Nov. 13,2009 01:25
Mr.Johnny replied:

You are right that your daughter should apply for a F visa.

Mr.overstay(china) said:

Hello: Ok, please don't lecture me...(i have already been yelled at enough). I am an american who has overstayed in China. I have overstayed for about 6 months. I want to get this situation worked out. Is there anyway i can do this. I am afraid now that if i exit china i will never get to enter again. I have the money to pay the 5000 RMB overstay fee, but i am mostly concerned about getting another visa. Can anybody give me advice? Thanks

Nov. 11,2009 04:25
Mr.Zachary replied:

You could contact the USA Embassy or Consulate in China for help.

Nov. 11,2009 23:03
Mr.China(China) replied:

It is possible but it costs money. It is actually best to start the process while you are still in China, rather than leave the country. But you should really get a consultant with connections to help you. Call me at 86-15344868900
