Im an Indonesian and currently studying in Australia. Im holding official passport. Im planning to go to China this late Nov 2009 for 2 months doing internship (related to my study). Since im an official passport holder, I cant apply for tourism visa, can I? The trave agetn said that business visa is only for 30 days, and if I want to extend my staying in China, I have to get out of China first (which is not possibble for me). What can I do? Is it possibble for me to extend my staying in China for 2 months? Please help me
Nov. 2,2009 22:23
Mr.Heather replied:
I think you still need to apply for a Business visa to China. You can apply for extension of stay in China if you want to stay longer than 30 days from the local public security bureau.

heyy i was just wondering for the china visa if we are Australian citizens and want to apply for a multiple china visa for holiday are there any conditions??
Oct. 27,2009 21:00
Ms.Annie replied:
There should be conditions for multiple entry visa application, for the China government are unwilling to issue multiple entry visas usually, but I'm not sure what it is exactly.
You can contact the China embassy in Australia directly for details.
