Mrs.Bennett(Holanda) said:
Further to my request for info. yesterday, we are leaving Buenos Aires for New Zealand on December 7th. and will travel from there to China, where we will arrive mid March. Can we process our visas here in BA before leaving, we are staying in China until mid April. Would it be cheaper to get the visa here or in New Zealand.
We have a Dutch and a British passport, but we are permanent residents of Argentina.
thank you,
Elisabeth Bennett

Mr.Simon replied:
I think it is too early to apply for the China visa now. You should apply for the China visa one month before your trip.

My husband (UK citizen) and I (Dutch citizen) have permanent residency in Argentina. We will visit China next March/April. We will visit New Zealand in January\February.
Can we obtain the entry visa to China here in Buenos Aires and what would be the cost per person for us? Or is it cheaper to get the visa in New Zealand when we get there. It would have to be a double entry six month visa if we do it here, I think.
Thank you.

Ms.Fernanda(Argentina) replied:
Hello, again. Thank you for the information. We have one more question. We are planning to book a hotel for the first night and then packpack around some of the most important sights of China. Would a one-night reservation be enough to get a visa? We would like to stay in hostels while we travel around your country for about 15-20 days.Thanks again for the information.

Mr.helper replied:
It is hard to answer such a question, you can have a try. I don't think the first night hotel reservation is enough for visa application.

Ms.carolina(argentina) said:
HI,
I'm from argentina. and I'm planning a trip to Asia but I'll be leaving from the US to Japan. and then I want to get to China via ferry from Osaka. Should I get the visa in the US or in Argentina? the thing is that I'll be working 6 months in the US. And one final question, I got a ticket from los angeles to tokyo but it has a stop in Taipei, Taiwan for about two hours, do I need a transit visa or not? thanks
Oct. 13,2009 21:37
Mr.Nigel replied:
You can either apply for the China visa in US or Agentina, but it would be better in Agentina if you are Agentina passport holders.
I'm not sure whether you need a transit visa in Taibei or not.

Ms.LILIAN(China) replied:
Mrs. Eliana, you can apply for it from New Zealand if you have the residence permit or valid visa of New Zealand, otherwise, the visa officer will refuse your application. However, if you apply for China visa in Argentina, then you will stay in New Zealand for months, maybe the China visa will be expired before you use it. The cost is almost equivalent. The fee is US$30 in Argentina, NZ$60 in new Zealand.
If you only go to Hong Kong, you don't need a visa and can stay there for up to 90 days.

I have been invited to China for a 3 day workshop with an international company that does business in China. What type of visa do I need? Do I need an invitation letter? Thanks.

You may apply for a F visa, and the invitation letter from the international company in China is necessary.

I am an argentine citizen and plan to travel to Hong Kong, for a tree days journey. I travel for tourism reasons with my wife. The agency where I bought the air tickets to London/Hong Kong/Taipei, tells me I need a Visa to enter China. Visiting your web site and exploring Visa's requirements I understand it is not necessary if I only visit Hong Kong. Please let me know if I can enter Hong Kong for tree days stay without a China Visa.

Mr.Brandon replied:
Yes, you can stay in Hk for up to 90 days without any visa.

You need to apply for a tourist visa. If this is your first-time application, the visa officers may not grant you a multiple-entry visa.
